Review:

Lou has done it again! He inspires those of us who know our own back yard to explore it again. -- Michael Kennedy, mountaineer and past publisher, Climbing Magazine

Spanning the spectrum of wilderness glisse, this guide has something for everyone--from nordic and hut tourers, to ski mountaineers. -- Brian Litz, editor, Back Country Magazine
