The surface of fallen snow—its contours and texture—can tell the interested observer much about the forces that shaped it and about its stability and what it is likely to do. Will it be good for skiing or for packing as a snowball? Will it slide? Is it dangerous? Secrets of the Snow is an overview of the easily visible aspects of snow in the alpine mountain landscape, serving as a companion volume to the author’s Field Guide to Snow Crystals, which examines snow at the microscopic level. Describing visual snow features and textures arising from climate, wind-drift, layering, solar radiation, and melting, Secrets of the Snow explains how snow may be "read" for information on avalanche formation and suitability for winter sports. Closely linked photographs and text illustrate the shapes, forms, and textures found at the surface of winter snow covers; describe their origins in wind and weather conditions; and guide the reader in interpreting these features to predict snow behavior. Secrets of the Snow is essential for winter sports enthusiasts, mountaineers, and avalanche-safety specialists.

Snowboarding is pretty fun, especially when you don't die. Whether it's avalanches, hypothermia, runaway snowboards, falling ice, tree-wells, or even goats... snowboarders have a lot to worry about! In this guide you'll find everything you need to conquer the sport, gain first-hand experience from the experts, and learn how to avoid some of the (literal) pitfalls that you'll find. Whether you are going to compete in the X-Games someday, or you just want to have some fun in the snow, there's something in this book for everyone.Alpine climates are tricky if you aren't used to them, so there's a lot to teach when it comes to the snow. My goal was to create a guide that anyone could learn from, even if you've never even seen the snow. Everyone should be able to experience the joy that comes with snowboarding, so this guide was written to be universally accessible. At the end of the day I want to teach you how to snowboard (have fun) and not die. Whoa! That's the title!
