This is the pretty much the current and standard guide to the Canadian Rockies. More complete guides exist, though they are rare and out of print. This guide presents 200 of the best climbs, eliminating overdrawn discussions of the obscure and focusing nicely on routes that have become legendary in the mountaineering world. The book itself is well made and suitable for the top of your pack.

This is one of the most well done guidebooks I have ever seen. Some of my friends refer to the first volume of this book as "The Bible of Northwest Climbing." This one is destined for the same accolades.

The book itself is made of heavy stock paper - something that you can throw around in your car and not worry about too much. The black and white pictures are awesome and the route descriptions are well written. Hardware suggestions appear to be appropriate and the permit information looks good too.

This book describes 96 new routes and includes crag climbs (something which was not covered in the first edition). Perhaps the best thing about this book is that most of the climbs are somewhat off of the beaten track and not the most well known. Every self-respecting climber in the northwest should own both of these books - they're guaranteed to get you excited and help you pick your next trip.

This book is the best publication on the subject within the USA. Combine this with some expert instruction and you will be skiing those big peaks and doing those long traverses like a pro! This sport is just coming of age in this country and is VERY popular in Europe, where it started long ago. If you are interested in that professional instruction, Email me and I will set up a date...maybe we will ski Mt. St. Helens or Rainier? The sky is the limit!

If you love to ski and want to improve faster than traditional methods will allow, this book is for you. Rather than showing you a standard and having you try to produce the movements that meet the external standard, Mr. Heggie teaches you how to teach yourself the small simple component movements which when combined produce the desired end result skill. The lessons are easy to follow and produce immediate results. Mr. Heggie makes the book very interesting and easy to read by including real life examples of skiers that he has trained in every chapter. I would highly recommend this book for any skier to take his enjoyment of skiing to the next level.

I thought I'd never be able to ski. Look at me now! Young kids are amazed at my skill. This one is the best.

Teton Skiing is a phenomenal book written eloquently and comically from the perspective of a mountaineer (Tom Turiano) who has climbed and skiied nearly every peak in the range. The book is perfect for someone thinking about a trip to the Tetons in order to gain more insight into the history that made it the touring site it is today, as well as, a guide to help in planning your trip. It is also a great book for anyone interested in history and/or the outdoors in general. Although it is partly a guidebook, it was more intersting to me for its well researched and colorful history of this mythical wonder called the Tetons. If you haven't been to Wyoming's Tetons, this book will make you want to go. If you have been, it will drive you to return and discover things unseen. A book I treasure!

What a great tale - the story detailing the beginnings of the ultimate ski bum! I thoroughly enjoyed Warren's recounting of his early days. While fun and light, this book communicates his passion for skiing and all it involves. My only complaint is that the book is way to short!

I saw myself on every page...Claudia has addressed every problem I've ever had in skiing and gave me answers, confidence, and a whole new attitude about ski buying. I actually improved my skiing, knowing more about my body and how it works. I recommend it for any female skier, beginner or advanced, and men should read it too, to understand how women relate to skiing.
