This new edition of "Summits & Icefields 2: Alpine Ski Tours in
the Columbia Mountains" continues RMB's tradition of offering snow
enthusiasts updated editions of our bestselling guidebooks.
Researched and written by legendary alpinist Chic Scott, with the
assistance of certified mountain guide Mark Klassen, this
guidebook--along with its companion volume "Summits & Icefields
1: Alpine Ski Tours in the Canadian Rockies" (RMB, 2011)--will
continue to be the bibles for ski mountaineers looking to
experience the winter grandeur of western Canada's mountain ranges.
Completely revised and updated, this new edition will feature both
classic and new tours, along with information on a variety of
locations that has either been greatly expanded or freshly redone,
including the ever-popular sections on Rogers Pass and the Bugaboos
to Rogers Pass Traverse. With stunning, full-colour photos
throughout and featuring digitally shaded maps prepared from
satellite imagery, these new editions will set a unique standard
for ski guidebooks in North America.
Conrad Kain is a titan amongst climbers in Canada and is well-known
in mountaineering circles all over the world. His letters to Amelie
Malek-a life-long friend-offer a candid view into the deepest
thoughts of the Austrian mountain guide, and are a perfect
complement to his autobiography, Where the Clouds Can Go. The 144
letters provide a unique and personal view of what it meant to
immigrate to Canada in the early part of the twentieth century.
Kain's letters are ordered chronologically with annotations,
keeping the sections in English untouched, while those in German
have been carefully translated. Historians and mountain culture
enthusiasts worldwide will appreciate Kain's genius for
description, his passion for nature, his opinions, and his musings
about his life.
RMB is pleased to present the third edition of "Summits and
Icefields 1: Alpine Ski Tours in the Canadian Rockies," one of our
bestselling guidebooks. Researched and written by legendary
alpinist Chic Scott, with the assistance of mountain guide Mark
Klassen, this guidebook will continue to be the bible of ski
mountaineers in the Rockies. There will be plenty of new tours in
the book, particularly in newly developed areas where skiers can
grab a few powder turns near the road. Information on other areas
will be either greatly expanded or completely rewritten and
updated. The entire book will be printed in colour, showcasing many
mouthwatering ski images and destinations. Digital shaded maps
prepared from satellite imagery will illustrate the routes and
terrain and will allow this guidebook to set a new standard for ski
guidebooks in North America. The companion volume, "Summits and
Icefields 2: Alpine Ski Tours in the Columbia Mountains," will
appear in autumn 2012.
