Amazing Ski Guidebook - This book is a true insider guide to Whistler Blackcomb skiing, describing hidden gems that are not found on the official WB map with detailed description of trail access and exit options and difficulty level. After skiing at Whistler Blackcomb for 10 years, I have learned a lot of new information from this guide about double diamonds, triple diamonds and undesignated glade areas.
