This is a fantastic reference for skiing in Washington state. Lots of great info on approaches, difficulty, and tips and tricks. I appreciate the variety of routes too—some extreme and a lot of moderate and easy tours. Some classics in this one for sure!

Hard to find another book for Washington, so until something else comes out to compare to, worth 5 stars. Includes key areas in all parts of the Cascades, with many practical and dream routes. As with all Mountaineers books, graphics could be modernized, but at least its a standard format.
