About this title

Review:

It's winter and it's cold out. You can try to run and hide, or you can embrace the season and its snowy essence. On a pristine winter day, the sun glints off the snow-covered trees and the hills are silent save for the serene swoosh of skis and crunch of snowshoes. Charles Cook introduces you to the equipment, techniques, and Zen of snowshoeing and Nordic skiing, then tackles the where and when, with details on more than 500 spots in 38 states, from the hills of Vermont to Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are easy and healthy, whatever your level of athletic fitness, and Cook puts everything together in one enticing book.
