Product Description

Review

"Winter Tales, goes to new heights, offering basics and some little-known historical insights. Those interested in snowshoes won't feel left out . . . . And to add a more modern element, Watters also includes snowboarding opportunities." -- Bill Loftus, Lewiston Morning Tribune

"Buy it as a guidebook for the trail. Enjoy it as an entertaining history book at night. [It's] the standard by which other [guide] books are judged." -- Cross-country Ski Magazine

"It has a well honed sense of place, a nice appreciation for local folklore centered around the long snowshoe and a commitment to sport that is integrated with the environment." -- RAIN Journal of Appropriate Technology

"Obviously thoroughly researched through firsthand knowledge ... easy to read maps and scenic photos." -- Daryl Gadbow, The Missoulian

"Pick up a copy of Winter Tales and Trails . . . . You'll not only get a complete guide and review of trails, but you will also learn about the rich, colorful history of skiing in the region. Much of Watters' writing is action: you'll catch your breath through the tales of early trailblazers. But the challenges laid by these tales is clear and you will be compelled to see for yourself the ghost towns and scenic vistas . . . . Be sure to get a copy--you are in for a grand adventure." -- Lisa A. Jackson, Eclectic Book Reviews

Book Description

Two books in one! This 355-page book is the bible of cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowboarding and backcountry skiing in Idaho, the Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks. It includes descriptions of hundreds of cross-country ski and snowshoe trails. Backcountry aficionados will also find it invaluable with beautifully done aerial illustrations detailing snowboard and backcountry ski routes in some best terrain in the west. And the book is filled with stories, honoring and retracing the rich traditions of western winter travel. To top it off, it has been carefully and lovingly designed which is obvious by its pleasing graphics, easy-to-use maps, enticing photography, and overall visual appeal. All in all, this is truly a model guidebook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Factual, funny, informative and engrossing - a must !!, Jan 13 1998
This review is from: Winter Tales and Trails: Skiing, Snowshoeing and Snowboarding in Idaho, the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park (Paperback)
I found this book to be highly informative with exactly the type of information I needed for planning skiing and snowshoeing forays into Idaho's snow country - but more than that, it is highly readable with outstanding anecdotes and historical facts liberally spread throughout. A must-have for anyone interested in winter outdoors
