Manual of Ski Mountaineering

We are hopeful that this book will keep encouraging people at least to intend to take off into the winter wilder­ness occasionally as a change in diet from the frenetically linked turns that are the inevitable part of the daily grind on what we like to think of as practice slopes for some­thing better. We hope a great number of skiers will actually come to do something about their intentions, that they will really go ski mountaineering, forsake the se­curity blanket of packed snow from time...
