Washington East Side Backcountry Ski Bundle: Guidebook + Map

Description

Commonly known as “The East Side,” this stretch of terrain, from the north side of Stevens Pass down toward I-90 and east toward Mission Ridge, is a magnet for skiers and riders chasing colder, drier snow, big traverses, and real exploration. Endless bowls, faces, glades, and chutes have pulled dedicated backcountry skiers and splitboarders here for decades. The terrain spans mellow glades to high-exposure objectives, so you can find the right tour for your group – but with a snowpack that’s more prone to persistent slabs, it also demands experience, education, and humility.

This bundle gives you both tools:
1. Washington East Side Backcountry Ski Atlas (5.5” x 8.5” spiral-bound)
Professional ski guide and author Matt Schonwald lays out 300+ tours across the East Side, from roadside laps to deep missions. The atlas uses high-quality aerial photos with ascent and descent lines, slope angles, aspect, Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) ratings, approaches, exits, parking and trailhead info, resort boundaries, and more. Every page is curated and reviewed to help you plan responsibly and travel with intention, not just follow tracks.

2. The Waterproof Stevens Pass Backcountry Ski Map (18” x 22” open | 4″ x 5.5″ folded | ~1.5 oz | 1:36,000 scale)
This tearproof, pocket-ready topo map is built for the field. It shows ski descents and uptracks, resort boundaries, trailheads, parking, slope angles, ATES ratings, key point-to-point traverses, and a run list you can actually use in the parking lot or on the skintrack. Tack it on your wall, or throw it in your pack. No batteries required.
