5.0 out of 5 stars An absolutely user friendly outdoor guide, May 22 2001
This review is from: Backcountry Skiing Adventures: Vermont and New York: Classic Ski and Snowboard Tours in Vermont and New York (Paperback)
A superbly presented compendium of two dozen classic ski and snowboard tours throughout the states of Vermont and New York, David Goodman's Backcountry Skiing Adventures offers the best routes, equipment and backcountry riding tips; topographic maps and photos for each tour; information on avalanche awareness, winter camping, gear, safety, and first aid. This absolutely user friendly outdoor guide is a "must" for anyone planning a skiing or snowboarding excursion in Vermont or New York. Also very highly recommended is the other title in this outstanding Appalachian Mountain Club "Backcountry Skiing Adventures" series: Classic Ski and Snowboard Tours in Maine and New Hampshire.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for cross country and telemark skiers, Nov 16 2005
By W. Roon "Deep Powder Monster" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Backcountry Skiing Adventures: Vermont and New York: Classic Ski and Snowboard Tours in Vermont and New York (Paperback)
This is a great book if you are looking for a guide to some of the best cross country and telemark trails, however since i was looking for more of a downhill backcountry guide, this is not really what i was looking for, but it is still a very informative and well written book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bible for its topic, Feb 8 2009
By H. Zhang "hz" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Backcountry Skiing Adventures: Vermont and New York: Classic Ski and Snowboard Tours in Vermont and New York (Paperback)
This book is the younger twin of Goodman's other book on this topic for Maine and New Hampshire which I also gladly own.

It does a very good job covering exactly what described by its title, no less, not much more. If you know how to x-c ski, it provides all the information you need to enjoy many backcountry tours in Vermont and New York - from history, clothing and equipment, safety to detailed information of 22 tours (e.g. map, distance, elevation, difficulty level, etc.) The author undoubtedly best suits writing such book because the book is about his passion.

What would add significant value to this book is a large color topographic map similar to AMC's winter tails map.

It also covers one tour in western Massachusetts.
