••• Winter Mountain Adventures Await •••
Let it snow! Because winter brings out the best in the Northwest for skiing, snowboarding, and other winter recreation.
Whether youre looking for steeps and deeps at elegant resorts or affordable, close-to-home slopes where kids can learn--this comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know.
The Northwest Snow Sports Guide features more than 100 ski areas in seven U.S. states (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Wyoming, and Utah) plus British Columbia and Alberta in Canada. Every listing provides an overview of each ski area plus updates about what’s new this season. Youll also find detailed information about what’s best (pros), what’s blah (cons), and insider secrets (tips) that locals rarely share with visitors.
Rounding out winter recreation, additional sections focus on heliskiing, catskiing, snowtubing, snowshoeing, cross-country, and more.
••• About the Author •••
A ski and adventure travel journalist for more than 20 years, Peter Schroeder has skied and written about more than 150 major ski areas in North America and resorts throughout Europe and New Zealand as well as unique ski adventures in Turkey and China.
From his Northwest snowtime experiences, he knows firsthand where to find powder three days after a storm, runs that ski best in a white-out, and the gentlest trails for beginners. In addition, he can point you to the terrain parks with the biggest jumps or areas with affordable ski-school packages.
The Northwest holds special meaning in his heart because he has made Seattle his home for more than 20 years. He loves going through life with a snowcapped mountain always in sight.
This marks the 20th year Schroeder has written the Northwest Snow Sports Guide--and the first time he is releasing it as a mobile app for easy access from coffee shop to chairlift.
