Description

Utah has long claimed to have the best snow on Earth―the state itself has even trademarked the phrase. In Secrets of the Greatest Snow on Earth, Jim Steenburgh investigates Wasatch weather, exposing the myths, explaining the truth, and revealing how and why Utah’s powder lives as much as its reputation. Steenburgh also examines ski and snowboard regions beyond Utah, making this book a meteorological guide to mountain weather and snow climates world wide.
 
Chapters explore mountain weather, avalanches and snow safety, historical accounts of weather events and snow conditions, and the basics of climate and weather forecasting. Steenburgh explains what creates the most efficient snow for skiing and snowboarding in accurate and accessible language and illustrates his points with 150 color photographs, making Secrets of the Greatest Snow on Earth a helpful tool for planning vacations and staying protected throughout mountain adventures. Snowriders, weather enthusiasts, meteorologists, students of snow science, and any person who dreams of deep powder and bluebird skies will need to get their gloves on Secrets of the Greatest Snow on Earth.
