About this book

I’m Dex Burke, the creator of this book. “Authored” might be too formal a word—my role is to pair clear, accurate names of routes, mountains, ascents, etc with high-quality photographs of the mountains I know intimately. This book draws on my long-standing local knowledge, cross-checked against existing resources and verified by local guide companies to ensure both accuracy and relevance.

One of the inherent challenges in a guidebook like this is that a single route can be known by several different names depending on who you ask. While names matter, the real strength of this book lies in its large, detailed photographs. They offer a visual clarity that transcends naming differences and provide an invaluable tool for both new and experienced backcountry skiers when planning their days in the mountains.

I hope you find this book as useful and enjoyable to explore as it was for me to create.
