“Allen & Mike’s Really Cool Backcountry Ski Book’

[Eric Blumensaadt]

SO yeah, I’ve mentioned this book in posts over the years but I think it deserves a dedicated post.

This is a thin paperback on both backcountry ski tips and winter camping. About 3/2 of the book is on how to winter camp in the backcountry. It is illustrated with cartoonish drawings but there is a lot of information in those drawings, at least as much as in the text. This book is one you will re-read several times and recommend to new winter campers and backcountry skiers.

I’ve now experienced dyslexia! I meant 2/3, not “3/2”.

Even with all the latest winter/4 season gear we now have available this book is still very relevant on all its advice.  And if you have never winter camped this little book is invaluable.

I picked this book up about a month ago after seeing you recommend it. I read the whole thing in an evening! Great information and one I’ll be showing to other friends I take winter backpacking in the BWCA next year!
