Book: Freeskiing - 2008
Free Skiing: How to Adapt to the Mountain is the book that author and UIAGM mountain guide, Jimmy Oden, wished he’d had during his ski bum years. Oden conveys how professionals think and act in a big-mountain environment in order to help you be as safe as possible in the backcountry. You’ll learn about mountain weather, adapting to the mountain, evaluating avalanche hazards, first aid and rescue, navigation, ski-related mountaineering skills, glacier skiing, and more. This 366-page book includes explanatory illustrations and photos—it’s like a textbook for freeskiers, except that you'll enjoy reading it.
Bottom Line: “One thing is for certain: On the mountain, you can’t afford to put your trust in luck.” – Oden
