Customer Reviews
Some decent XC & BC tours but no telemark tours.
This is a decent guide for those looking for places to ski the ungroomed, but there are scant tours for the "touring for turns" set. The directions on how to find the starting point sometimes presume local knowledge of the towns or detailed street maps, but the tour directions are usually clear.
