This timely
panoramic introduction to the joys of ski touring enhances the overall
winter recreation prospect for downhill skiers and beckons to the
fireside winter "sportsman" to leave the nest and join the flock. All
the dos and don'ts that can make a saunter on skis out into the
winter wonderland an exhilarating and memorable experience are
authoritatively and sometimes humorously set forth.

Chapter
One sets the scene, and the ensuing chapters consecutively cover the
essentials of the planning stage, paraphernalia, basic skiing
techniques, safety and first aid, and the setting up of a winter camp
if an overnight tour is planned.
|
The chapter on safety includes a list of suggested items for the
first-aid kit, and the last chapter lists menus and individual and
group check lists for a three-day tour. A wind chill table is also
included.
