Within Australia, the winter sport of ski touring is gathering an increasing number of adherents every season. Each year, when snow blankets the alps, more Australians are tempted to forsake traditional recreation to discover a new and different world.

Ski Touring in Australia is a book for both the beginner or experienced skier wishing to escape from the crowded ski slopes of downhill ski resorts. All the major ski touring regions are described in detail, together with up-to-date information on recent advances in ski touring equipment. Other chapters provide authoritative instruction in safe skiing procedures, snow camping, survival, first aid, navigation and history. It is well illustrated with maps and diagrams, and numerous photographs evoke the magic of exploring, on skis, the snow covered mountains of Australia.
