Comprehensive Guidebook for the East Sierra
The Eastern Sierra is an excellent, but underappreciated area to ski. The cold east side has fresher snow than the western side of the Sierra. However, since there's only one main road (395) and few passes open in winter, it's not visited a lot.

The Eastern Sierra is an excellent, but underappreciated area to ski. The cold east side has fresher snow than the western side of the Sierra. However, since there's only one main road (395) and few passes open in winter, it's not visited a lot.The book covers 78 tours in 184 pages in the Eastern Sierra/Owens Valley area from Bridgeport (N. of Mono Lake) south to Bishop Creek. This includes the Mammoth area and Rock Creek area, both with developed and backcountry XC ski areas. It's a great book, but I wish it had an index. The Tioga Pass area could use more coverage. But what it does cover still makes it a terrific guidebook!
