Skimountaineering in Scotland

Informativer Skitourenführer;
This is not, as stated in the Introduction, a text book. It is rather a sum of
knowledge gathered from many addicts of the sport, a game which has been,
until relatively recently, furtively carried on in parallel with the more
‹glamourous› game of winter mountaineering. This did not prevent Willie
Naismith, a founder of the SMC, from commenting to his fellow members in 1909
that –
‹Will the younger members who have not yet tried skiing allow an old fogey to
urge them to take up a sport which bids fair to become a formidable rival of
the axe and rope during winter months.›
This was just after Naismith and a companion had skied down the Red Burn on
Ben Nevis! There are some 80 excursions described in this excellent guide
accompanied by clear maps and photographs to whet the appetite.
