Oregon – Backcountry Ski and Snowboard Routes

Includes 120 black-and-white photos and 90 maps
Coverage ranges from Lassen Peak up to Mount St. Helens

The first guidebook in a new Backcountry Ski & Snowboard Series from
Mountaineers Books, Backcountry Ski & Snowboard Routes: Oregon describes
nearly 100 of the best and most classic mountain routes that will exhilarate
and challenge winter backcountry seekers. Although many of these routes are
geared toward intermediate and expert skiers and boarders, there are also
appropriate routes for those just getting into the backcountry for the first
time. Full state coverage includes more than 30 routes on Mount Hood alone,
and ranges across Mount Jefferson, the Three Sisters and Bend area, Willamette
Pass and Mount Bailey, Crater Lake National Park, the southern Cascades,
Steens, and the Wallowas and Blue Mountains regions.

There are also classic routes just over the borders — Mount Shasta and Lassen
Peak in Northern California and Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams, and Muir
Snowfield in Washington. Many of these routes are selected for their
straightforward approaches. Sections describe avalanche safety, best
resources, gear, Oregon backcountry laws, and routes by best season and skill
level. This is a guidebook to get snowboarders and skiers out in the mountains
for quality fun!
