"With first-hand route descriptions, detailed maps and excellent photos, Dawson has not only created an indispensable reference to some of the continent's best backcountry skiing, he has helped define the spiritual essence of this incredible mountain sport.

"Far to long out of print, Dawson's first, ground-breaking guidebook roars back to life renamed and fully revamped. Spanning the entire spectrum of wilderness glisse, this guide to the incredible Elk and Sawatch Ranges of Colorado has something for everyone - from nordic and hut tours to extreme high-altitide ski-mountaineer. Chock full of Lou's knockout photos, superb maps, hard-won wisdom and humor, this book is truly as inspirational and entertaining as it is informative - and is a must for your bookshelf. (Or better... you rucksack!)"
Brian Litz, Editor

"Lou has done it again! Comprehensive and detailed, Dawson's Guide to Colorado Backcountry Skiing inspires those of us who think we know our own back yard to explore the many nooks and crannies we've missed."
Michael Kennedy
Mountaineer and past publisher, Climbing Magazine
"Ski mountaineering is the most elemental, the most exhilarating, the most spiritually rewarding sport of all. Nothing compares with the thrill of making silky track on the unblemished slope of a mountain you climbed under your own power, miles from mountain top gourmet restaurants and high-speed lifts, just you and you buddies. Lou Dawson is our guru. His books show us The Way."
