About this title

From the Publisher:

This book combines the talents of National Geographic photographer Phil Scofield and author Ron Watters. It is filled with lots of helpful advice and practical suggestions on how to make backcountry skiing and winter camping enjoyable. Many of the dramatic photographs which supplement the text where taken by Scofield when he accompanied Watters on a 10-day backcountry ski journey across the Gospel Hump Wilderness in central Idaho.

From the Author:

I admit. I'm a bit odd. I really enjoy camping in winter. A number of years ago, I wanted to write a book about it, and, at the same time, somehow capture the beauty and simplicity of it all. In that regard, I was helped by Phil Schofield. Phil was at the time, and still is, a National Geographic photographer.

He was willing to spend long days photographing the backcountry in the winter and even accompanied me and eight others on a 10-day journey across Central Idaho's Gospel-Hump Wilderness during some of the worst conditions imaginable.

I have much to thank Phil for. His dramatic and innovative black and white photos made Ski Camping much more than a run-of-the-mill instructional text, but rather a book of art and beauty.
