Book for Ski Touring

[Ace3+4]

I just bought some skins and an Atomic Tracker 16. I looking to initiate myself to a little bit a of touring. I was wondering if anyone had any books or video to suggest. (I'm actually from qc so I won't be in avalanche territory, but I can always lear a bit about that too)Thanks

Well he's fromQuebec and the only place where they are avalanche is in the chic.-choc

 

[snakerton]

what's the point if no avalanche danger

 

[Drail]

you sure about that one?

 

[Banane.]

Well not 100%, but I know they have some avalanche in Chic choc, I might be wrong tough

Avy class is helpful, but I guess in the mean time get this book:
