FROM THE PREFACE

HERE’S THE SECRET about Utah, and the Wasatch Mountains in particular: it’s the best backcountry skiing in the world. Moist storms that track across the desert west of Salt Lake City slam into a wall of mountains east of the Great Salt Lake and dump huge amounts of snow. But it’s not just the quantity, it’s the quality that matters. Most storms come in right-side up, meaning they begin wet, with thick snow falling first, followed by colder air that dries the snow, leaving fluffy, dreamlike powder on top. That’s the recipe for perfect powder skiing, and Utah has it in spades.

These routes are a good foundation for further exploration in Utah’s urban and rural mountain ranges. As you ski or snowboard these routes, stop to scan the horizon and build up the courage to see what’s on the other side of the next ridge. Explore. Because exploration is ultimately what backcountry skiing is about. Well, that and shredding waist-deep powder.

From The Introduction

Some Of The Best Backcountry Skiing and snowboarding anywhere can be found in the mountains of California. Each winter these ranges are blanketed in a glorious white coat of snow, creating a seemingly limitless backcountry ski and snowboard playground with something to suit everyone.

Adventurous backcountry skiers have been laying tracks down California mountains since the 1960s, possibly even earlier. This guidebook provides what I consider to be many of the finest routes and descents throughout the state. The reality is that these tours are just the tip of the iceberg, as there is no limit to the options and remote wilderness peaks in the sea of mountains that is the Sierra Nevada. Ease of access is one of my goals for including the routes described here, virtually all of which can and have been done in a single day, although many of them are well suited to more casual overnight adventures.

VLT 0-8% - Suitable for sunny day with bright light. VLT 9-18% - Suitable for sunny to partly cloudy day. VLT 19-42% - Suitable for overcast, cloudy, foggy day. VLT 43-79% - Suitable for low light conditions. VLT 80-99% - Suitable for dark night. Hope this will help you. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us. Best regards, ZIONOR
Question:	does the zionor X4 ski googles fit women's Smith helmet?. whats the best lens for flat light
Answer:	Kelly Francis. Why would you go to a question and asnwer section just to tell someone "you don't know". No one cares you're a noob at skiing lol. They just want their question to be answered with something besides "I dont know" Yes, this will fit your helmet. The higher the VLT the better you will be able to see in low light conditions. If you want something to protect against bright light stick with the low VLT and dark lense.
Question:	what lens should i get
