DESCRIPTION:
A Customer said Invaluable Resource For Backcountry Skiing In The Rockies!. During an expedition to the Canadian Rockies, our trails research crew picked up the recent edition of SKI TRAILS by Chris Scott. We found this guidebook to be invaluable for route planning. Mr. Scott's detailed trail notes and local insights were most helpful.. MDC said Not terribly useful but no printed alternatives available. It is pretty much the only book on the particular subject. Trail descriptions are accurate in the couple of instances we've tested it, but they are generally terse and vague. Also, there are no useable trail maps and for certain regions there are no high-level, base maps either, so no maps at all.I would use the book to get trip ideas but i would not venture. A Customer said this book is great. I hiked. I saw. I loved it
