Looking
for lesser-known places to ski in the Sierras or Rockys? Download this Special
Edition GPS data file of nearly 200 alpine adventure destinations.
Here's an idea:
Turn you GPS into a Powder Hound !
With this data loaded on your GPS, jump in the 4-wheel drive and hit "Go to nearest Waypoint." I'd really like to hear from those of you who try this. Contact me if you'd care to share your adventure.
Adventure Travel Tip: When the sun is high and bright, it is difficult to see subtle details in snow covered terrain without enhanced vision. Polarized Sunglasses* enable you to see differences that the naked eye cannot discern.
Click on the binoculars to see a demonstration of ExpertGPS displaying the Deer Park Resort area. deerPark.jpg (Approx. 81 KB) opens in a new window.

To
create this GPS Map, I used software and data from ExpertGPS.
For each state, I selected only waypoints for places that included the
description "Ski Area." I was surprised to find so many! It
makes me want to get out from behind this computer, hit GOTO on my Garmin,
and seek snow!!
