With years of experience as NOLS instructors to draw on, Allen O’Bannon and Mike Clelland team up to give winter recreationists the information they need to stay safe in the backcountry, including how to prepare for your trip, proper equipment and how to use it, snowpack assessment, choosing safe travel routes, decision making and rescue scenarios. Written for both aspiring winter backcountry travelers and experts alike, this book is a must read for anyone who love to experience the solitude and beauty of the snowy mountains.
