Authors and expert cross-country skiers Vicky Spring and Tom Kirkendall have carefully selected the best 100 cross-country ski trails in the state. The authors offer advice on technique, equipment, camping areas, sno-parks and huts, and outdoor safety. Trail descriptions include types of uses, surface descriptions, difficulty ratings, mileage and skiing time, elevation gain, best time to go, and map suggestions. The access to each trail is described in detail, as are the trails themselves.



From an easy three-mile tour on Hurricane Hill in the Olympics to Echo Valley, a difficult five-mile trail near Chelan, to terrific overnighters, there's something for everyone in this book.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The book is one of the most comprehensive guides for cross-country ski tourers, and well worth adding to your library. (Kitsap County Sun)

The information has value for everyone who wants to go into the mountains when snow is on the ground-from first-timers on skis to snowshoes to those with skills and experience to tackle the steepest slopes in rugged backcountry areas. (The Mountaineer)

5.0 out of 5 stars A lifetime's worth of North Western adventures
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2007
Whether you are a first-time skier or someone seeking a unique backcountry adventure, this book will compel you to strap on your skis and get outdoors.
It details critical information on avalanche hazards. At a glance comparisons of difficulty ratings, surface conditions, and elevation gains. Complete permit and fee requirements. One hundred-six reader-friendly maps that are very useful.

3.0 out of 5 stars good start
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2010
Verified Purchase
Has nice details for specific parks and does break down some specific trail systems but not too many. The author tends to cover 1 maybe 2 specific trails at an entire sno-park or area. Would of loved to see more detail about all the trails in the book. There are maps about all the specific areas but most of the trails on these maps have no information on them, even simple mileage would be nice. Even if it were just on the map. I don't need a detailed route guide. The book is a good starting point before I had to jump on the internet to get all the information I needed. It reminds me of an average hikers guide.
