I'm looking to see if anyone can share their favorite CO ski guidebooks. Between REI and Neptune I've seen these on the shelf:
State-wide:
Backcountry Ski & Snowboard Routes: Colorado
Classic Colorado Ski Descents
Climbing and Skiing Colorado's Mountains: 50 Select Ski Descents
Front Range:
The Best Ski Touring Routes: Colorado’s Front Range
MakingTurns in Colorado's Front Range Volumes 1 + 2
I am also aware that Dawson's 14er books include ski/winter routes but they seem to be out of print.

Re: Favorite Ski Guidebooks
Dawson's books are good. I got both for cheap on ebay.

Re: Favorite Ski Guidebooks
It's on your list, but this one is from a couple of .com members: Lordhelmut and Benners.

And while I don't skimo, Lou Dawson's books always served me well and were aimed at skiers more than climbers.
