This two-part volume, GeoBackcountry Rogers Pass: Uptracks, Bootpacks & Bushwhacks, is the third edition of author and skier Douglas Sproul’s companion guidebooks to backcountry skiing routes in Rogers Pass, complete with maps, illustrations, and full-colour photography. Located in British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains within Glacier National Park, two distinct areas are covered by each book. North is Volume 1 and south is Volume 2, as geographically divided by the Trans-Canada Highway.

Sproul’s inimitable guide is packed with practical insights gained from his hard-earned knowledge exploring the backcountry with a keen eye and a pair of skis. Each volume is laid out in logical sections, providing readers with invaluable information on everything from terrain, skill level, parking, avalanche safety, park permits, and more.

Mountain Photography:

Mountain photography is mostly landscape photography which is naturally, best presented in a landscape format. Terrain photography in the new books is a useful blend of aerial and land-based images. This results in a better understanding of the terrain as well as a real-life view as viewed by the skier on the ground.

* 17” x 5.5” double-page spreads
* Mindfully researched and carefully selected photos from various angles:
* Aerial photos for overview
