    Knowing how to travel on snow is a key skill for many hikers, climbers, skiers and other outdoor enthusiasts. It can give you access to popular hiking trails while there's still snow on the ground. Backpackers can cross high alpine snowfields with confidence. Peaks that are unpleasant slopes of loose rock in the summer months can offer prime climbing and skiing adventures when they're blanketed with snow.

    Featuring detailed photos and illustrations throughout and offering personal anecdotes,Snow Travel is an easy-to-use guide for safe travel over snow for all outdoor recreationists.
