This review is from: Backcountry Skiing Utah (Falcon Guides Backcountry Skiing) (Paperback)
This book is outstanding. It has maps, trails, distances and times, difficulty, and best descents for pretty much every mountain in UT. If you've seen a coulier that looks intriguing it most likely has a description of it. A great guide for anyone looking to get out, intermediates to extremely advanced.

This review is from: Backcountry Skiing Utah (Falcon Guides Backcountry Skiing) (Paperback)
Tyson knows his backyard, the Wasatch, like the back of his hand. The book has led me to the most amazing ski days of my life, with more to come. The snow safety information is very reliable as Tyson is also an Avalanche Course instructor. The trailheads are sometimes hard to find, but that is because there are not signs. Once you find them the book will lead you to the powder stash!
