A practical guide to identifying ski conditions and avalanche formation from the features of the snow.

As more and more skiers, snowshoers and hikers venture into the backcountry, it is becoming increasingly important that they know how to read the snow. Using photographs of various types of snow and snow conditions, snow expert Edward R. LaChapelle examines in detail the shapes, forms and textures found on the surface of the snow and describes how wind and weather form these features.

Aimed at the layperson, the book explains how to determine expected ski conditions and especially avalanche formation.
