About The Book
Peaks, Basins & Traverses
There are 57 entries throughout the 5 ranges covered in the guide. These entries cover backcountry skiing across 68 peaks, 8 basins, and 4 ski-traverses - all of which encompass nearly 200 ski descents! For those living in and visiting Bozeman, Big Sky, Ennis, Livingston, Gardiner, and beyond will find new adventures out their backdoor.
Custom Maps
Each route has easy-to-follow maps. Understanding how to navigate complex private land inholdings, public land easements, and hard to reach winter trailheads is made simple with detail-rich maps for each ski-descent.

Aerial Photography
What's a ski-guide without mouth-watering beta images? Each peak covered is shown in full detail and annotated simplistically to reveal its classic descents. Three of the five ranges are covered with aerial photography, while the remaining two have meticulously gathered images.
Firsthand Information
Firsthand beta and GPS data was collected for every uptrack. This firsthand account and repeat visitation creates an intimate knowledge of efficient uptracks, alternative routes, changing hazards, and seasonal access points.
