      Comments about Backcountry Skiing: Skills for Ski Touring and Ski Mountaineering:

      Great resource to lean about BC Skiing and Ski Mountaineering. Gear selection guide is great but few sections are a bit dated. An additional section on route suggestions for different level would have been great. Overall a great read for a first timer or advanced BC skier.
