There is something extraordinarily special about sliding on snow
that has excited generations of snow sports enthusiasts. Add to
this the dimension of travelling through the mountains and the
result is a recipe for some of the best outdoor activity days you
could ever imagine. I have been fortunate to share some of these
adventures with Henry Branigan: Skiing off the summit of Mount
Blanc at dawn or, equally enjoyable, skiing under the northern
lights from hut to hut in Norway, still my all-time favourite way
of travelling through the mountains. A complete guide to alpine ski
touring, ski mountaineering and nordic ski touring sets out to
provide the fundamentals about going off piste and then journeying
through mountain terrain, in a logical, easy to read format.
Adapting ski technique for various off piste conditions is an
essential skill that makes all the difference between surviving and
savouring adventures off piste. The book also covers the
fundamental mountaineering knowledge including navigation, weather
and avalanches that are essential before venturing beyond the
confines of a ski area. Equipment and planning a tour are covered,
whether it is in an Alpine or Nordic environment. All in all this
is a very comprehensive and valuable resource for anyone aspiring
to venture into the mountains on skis. Bob Kinnaird Principal
