Backcountry WA guidebook

I've been finding it hard to find the Burgdorfer book, and wondered what's up? Is there a new one coming out? What's the distribution problem?

No problem - just not enough demand to keep it in production (according to the guys at Marmot Mountain Works), but try Amazon, you never know.

Martin Volken is coming out with a new version of his guide sometime this year (Dec maybe?) and I believe that it will be available as an interactive on-line map too.

I baffles me that we have so few guide books to the BC around here, but that thread has been chewed on extensively and everyone has there opinions.

happy hunting

If you have a seattle public library card the burgdorfer book is available as a online e-book, you can print what you need out of it. king county library might well offer the same?

got mine from goodwill. always worth it to check out some of the better book stores.

kings bookstore in tacoma is good.

library print out is an awesome option! thanks for that piece of knowledge.

Amazon wants 35 bones. I have access to one on loan, but I agree, it's BS that we have all these boring snowshoeing books at REI, but no ski books. I guess it helps keep your "secret" stashes "secret."

Amazon wants $35 for new and $34 to $149 for "used".  WTF????

I picked up the cheaper new copy as an early X-mas present to myself
