...and just when I thought I was becoming a good skier, I read Andrew's book and realized the depth of technical skill he posses. The Chuting Gallery is an excellant tool to be used by accomplished ski mountaineers to test the grade of their steel. As a guide book, for me, it tells me where not to go.....

Even after skiing most of the North Face of Superior on my face, I'm still glad to have read this excellent guide. Filled with enough references to inspire caution in even the most hardcore skiers, this is the ultimate conversation piece, even if you never make it off the groomers at Alta.

This book rocks. The author is so friendly - if you go to his website ([...])- he'll send you a signed copy!

Even after skiing most of North Superior on my face, I'm still glad this guide showed me the way. Prudence inspring (with many tales of disaster) this book makes great reading even if you never get it together enough to point your skis down a 60 degree slope.

Get psyched up to go skiing ! Bored with area skiing ( yawn ). Had enough of endless waist deep Wasatch powder ( ho-hum ). Here's something to really sink your edges into. Andrew's guide is well written, enthusiatic and clear, and provides a few seasons worth of the best "more exciting" lines to seek out and descend -- and establishes an instant standard for "real skiing" guide books. Just ask yourself, are you a real skier ? an in-bounds poofter or a powder-puppy ?

Buy this book, that guy owes a lot of people serious money
