Anyone who's seen the latest version of Summits and Icefields
(released the winter) knows what a great book it is and what an
improvement it is over the original, which itself was the best
backcountry skiing guidebook for many years (at least in Canada).
The new version's pictures are inspiring, the format concise and
relevant and the new maps make the latest version one you want to
have with you on every tour.--BigLines.com-- (04/05/2012)
Get this guidebook if you're a backcountry skier and live in the
area or plan to visit. Heck, get the guidebook just for the sheer
vicarious pleasure of reading about one of the places that is the
holy grail of alpine ski touring.--Wild Snow: The Backcountry Ski
