Equipment & Gear Book Reviews Web Links Skiing the Cascade Volcanoes: A Guide to Year-Round Ski & Snowboard Mountaineering on 28 Majestic Volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest Skiing the Pacific Ring of Fire and Beyond: Ski Mountaineering on the Great Volcanoes of the World (A preliminary version of a 250+ page online guidebook) (Last updated: February 2012) (Last updated: July 2008) (Last updated: January 2006) (Last updated: November 2009) Website News: 2012 Occasional updates to this website continue to be made as of 2012, although not nearly as often as I would like to do. Work continues on the full (non-website) version of my Skiing the Cascade Volcanoes guidebook, which has now been expanded slightly to include a total of 32 Cascade volcanoes, adding some which were on the borderline for inclusion previously. Through 2011, I have skied or climbed over 200 routes on all 32 of these volcanoes. I would like to ski some more routes on several of these volcanoes, but otherwise the research for the book is largely completed. Finishing the 330+ page, full-color, fully-typeset book is the major remaining task, followed by getting it printed and sending it out the door. Publication sometime during 2012 appears possible.  Featured Pages: Seattle / Glacier Peak WebCam:   My own personal webcam, with a view looking across Lake Union and out to the Cascade Range   Volcano WebCams around the Pacific Ring of Fire and Beyond:   on skiable volcanoes around the Pacific Ring  Live views of conditions of Fire and worldwide Cascade Volcano WebCams:   Live views of weather conditions throughout the Cascade Range and on numerous other skiable volcanoes in North America Cascade Snowfall and Snowdepth:  Interesting and useful data and plots, including snowpack info and extensive historical records Historical NWAC Snowdepth Plots and Paradise & Crater Lake Snowfall/Snowdepth Plots,         with a custom plotting program to display data back to the 1916-17 season Cascade Volcano Info Pages: Sortable Comparison Chart, Distance Calculator, and Sunrise / Sunset Calculator with Sun Charts Conifers of the Cascade Range:  Info about native conifers, plus a separate page about cultivating Dwarf and Slow-Growing Conifers Site Map & Search:  Easily navigate through this large website (over 650 html pages) or search for a specific page Site News & History:  Website history including recent updates About the Author:  A brief biographical sketch and contact info
