Description

A guide to one of the premier backcountry ski areas in Western Canada, this book covers all disciplines of backcountry snow sports from snowboarding on destination slopes to backcountry skiing, to overnight glacier expeditions in the remote and rugged Purcell Mountains.

 

Areas include the Bugaboos, Horsethief, Toby and Jumbo creeks and Kootenay National Park.

 

For the less adventurous, the authors describe the three Nordic centres of: Nipika, Panorama and Baptiste Lake that offer a selection of trackset trails for striding and skating.

About the authors

Ted Johnson grew up in Europe and started skiing in 1975. He spent his school years in Ontario, with weekends spent skiing in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec. He switched to snowboarding in 1988 and hasn’t looked back since. Ted moved to western Canada in 1993, making a living guiding on the rivers and in the mountains of B.C. and Alberta. He has been exploring the backcountry ever since. Armed with a snowmobile and a splitboard, he is one of a new breed of mountain explorer.
