There’s nothing like having a local showing you the goods when you visit a new mountain. A local skier’s 100-day-a-year knowledge can transform a trail-mapped day of futile searching into a powder tour of every mountain’s secret stashes. Aspen mountaineering guru Neal Beidleman delivers the inside scoop with his new “Aspen Ski and Snowboard Guide,” a $25 four-mountain handbook to the Roaring Fork Valley’s hidden ski terrain. Beidleman grew up in Aspen and is a world-renowned mountaineer whose magical knack for photography mirrors his powder-hunting skills. His insider’s beta on the valley’s best skiing offers more than 150 glimpses of runs that never will make the trail map. And Beidleman’s book ranks higher than gloves when it comes to suiting up for a day on Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk or Snowmass.
