About
Friday, November 7th, 2008The Powder Hound’s Guide to Snowbird is a trail guide that names, rates and provides directions in and out of every one of Snowbird’s important powder runs. There are no restaurant reviews, descriptions of nightlife or any of that. It’s a guidebook for skiers and snowboarders who want to find their way to the best terrain that Snowbird has to offer and who want to know the names of Snowbird’s myriad pitches, runs, chutes, access gates, and traverses.
The book was designed to help newcomers to Snowbird quickly find terrain that suits their abilities. It also aims to help those familiar with Snowbird’s terrain learn the often obscure–and changing–names for the various runs.
The book is a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ perfect bound paperback with 144 pages of information. There are 32 black and white panoramic photos of Snowbird’s terrain with captions that point to almost every one of the runs, traverses, lift lines and avalanche gates. The book describes over 250 runs; the official Snowbird ski map shows just 60.
