I got my copy in 2005 and as others have said, it changed my life. I moved away from SLC in 2008 but I come back every year to tick a line or two off. Step 1) buy this book. step 2) give skimo.co the rest of your money. step 3) happiness. or like lots of sweat and scaring yourself silly. which is kind of the same

I first got this book 12 years ago and it changed my life. I grew up skiing at Alta and had spent my entire childhood looking at the lines in this book, not knowing people really skied them. Owning this book turned me into a backcountry skier, and I have slowly built the skillset to ski all the lines. Buy this book, get inspired, ski steep lines.

This is a great wish list for the aspiring ski mountaineer in the SLC area. It bears all the hallmark's of Andrew's writing and personal style: wry, witty, irreverent, informative, informed, and properly disclaimed. Many of these routes would probably hand you your a$$, but for most of those I'll never know. For the rest it's a great guide to the lines which hang down LCC and other readily accessible parts of the Wasatch, and the stuff from which dreams (or nightmares) are made of.
