This book is about Alpine ski Touring and takes you through a step
by step guide on everything that you need to know to get you from a
novice ski tourer into the professional. It covers all the salient
points for moving on skis and explains how the technical equipment
should be used including all the skills that are required to start
touring as well as leading a group. It can also be used as a guide
for off piste skiers and snow boarders as well as Telemark and
Nordic tourers. Each chapter has its own topic as the book takes
you through well laid out progressions from your first steps uphill
to longer tours moving from hut to hut over glaciated terrain. The
photographs complement the text in every way giving a clearer
picture of what the equipment looks like and how it should be used.
Nothing has been left out and some of the chapters explain all the
points to be considered when planning a tour, or overnighting, as
well as emergency procedures. And to make the tour safer there are
chapters on avalanche awareness and weather. By the time you get to
the end of the book you will be armed with all the skills,
techniques and knowledge needed to go out and enjoy the sport of
ski touring.
