Ski Touring: Essential Knowledge for off-Piste, Back Country, Ski Tourers and Ski Mountaineers Paperback – 1 Mar. 2015

This is a very thorough reference book that would be valuable to ski tourers of all levels. If you're just getting into the sport it provides an excellent introduction to all aspects. But even if you're an experienced tourer, it is a very handy and comprehensive reminder of safety techniques and other aspects of mountain craft. A good book to re-read at the beginning of each season as a refresher. The author is a highly experienced guide and the book is a download of his extensive knowledge. It is clearly explained and illustrated. Recommended.

This is the bible of ski touring. A must for anyone either beginners or advanced. Everything is covered in a very easy way to understand but not patronising- with a lovely light and humorous style.The illustrations are excellent and add greatly to the text.It is a companion book to his other book on Alpine mountaineering which is also excellent.An essential reference book, and one to revisit frequently.

A well structured synopsis of essentials for ski touring. The perspective of a mountain guide, being slick, quick and thorough in prep strikes a chord with anyone who has faffed skins on a windy ridge top.

An excellent introduction covering all the basic techniques and requirements, with good tips for more experienced tourers.Its worth buying even if you have done plenty of touring as it sets out rules and recommendations which should be followed by all.Photos are very good also.

A great reference book, answers so many questions about kit and technique, wish I'd come across it earlier. Not got as far as the tours at the back yet.

Bought Bruce's Alpine Mountaineering and found that very useful. Had to get the Ski Touring version for this winter's plans. Reads well, simple, useful. A great technical manual.

Good general introduction but the tone of a pumped up know it all gets quite grating after a while

good book and great to build your knowledge with other resources on and offline if you're considering a tour
