4.0 out of 5 stars chock-full of information; but too heavy for the pack, October 26, 1998

This review is from: Classic Backcountry Skiing: A Guide to the Best Ski Tours in New England (Appalachian Mountain Club) (Paperback)

I've skied most of the routes in this book, since I picked it up in 1990. The trail info is great - complete and reliable. However, there is too much historical and contextual information. I love to read it, but I hate to carry the extra weight in my pack. I suppose I could photocopy the specifics, or acquire an extra copy and rip out the needed sections. But a small-format book, much like a serious climbers guide, would be much better. (P.S., when's the new edition going to come out??)

5.0 out of 5 stars This is definitely the best backcountry guide I've used., May 28, 1998

I've skied many of the trails,following Goodman's extraordinarily detailed descriptions. It is wonderfully written with terrific suggestions and leads. My goal is to complete each one of his recommendations.Each one, so far, is a winner.
