Climbing And Skiing Colorado's Mountains: 50 Select Ski Descents (Backcountry Skiing Series) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Climbing and Skiing Colorado’s Mountains is a select guidebook to 50 of the most classic, aesthetic, and iconic backcountry ski descents in the state of Colorado. The book provides accurate information to backcountry skiers and snowboarders, including overviews, maps, photos, and route descriptions for each of the selected 50 descents, while at the same time spurring the reader on to investigate peaks and areas outside of those featured in the book. Unlike other guidebooks, Climbing and Skiing Colorado's Mountains focus on peaks of all elevations located in all ranges throughout the state, including many 13ers and 14ers but also some smaller, more accessible peaks, representing a comprehensive mix of some of the best backcountry skiing Colorado has to offer.

As far as I know, there's no recent guidebook quite like this one - generally covering backcountry skiing in the mountains of Colorado. Lou Dawson wrote a Colorado book back around 2000, but this book brings the genre up to date. The camping and restaurant reviews are welcome, too. Good job!
I should probably rate this only one star because I'm now worried that I'll see a lot more people on some formerly-vacant peaks and couloirs. This book covers some of my favorite lines in the state and has introduced me to several that hadn't yet made my radar. If you are a ski mountaineer in Colorado then you should probably pick it up.
The information in the book was so detailed, I'm ready to get out to Colorado next Spring and try a climb or two.This is a must read for anyone who enjoys the mountains and the great sport of skiing.
It is a very well thought out and very thorough. I would recommend this book to climbers and skiers. I plan to give this it as presents to fellow climbers and skiers. gillian Willard
