A great guide for Seattle skiers,
By avid skier (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Backcountry Skiing Snoqualmie Pass (Falcon Guides Backcountry Skiing) (Paperback)
Martin does a great job of documenting ski explorations around Snoqualmie Pass. There are lots of options in this area and, as usual, most of us have just scratched the surface. There is also some good information about longer overnight tours at the end of the book.
