The Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map is a full-color paper map that compliments the website, Android app, and iOS app. It is available as a one-sided wall map and a folded map. The map includes the names of almost 1,000 backcountry locations in the Central Wasatch. Learn how the names were selected. See the terrain that is covered by this map. The map has “reddish” shading on slopes that are approximately 30° or steeper.
The Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map includes a detailed index to the backcountry locations. You can use the “grid coordinates” that are listed in the index to find a location on the paper map. You can also enter any of the four-digit “online numbers” that are listed in the index to display a specific location on the “desktop” version of the map. For example, the four-digit online number for Mount Superior is 2854, so visiting https://wbskiing.com/2854 will display Mount Superior on your desktop computer.
All profits from the sale of the paper map are donated to organizations that promote avalanche safety or the preservation of the Wasatch mountains—I only deduct hard costs like printing, envelopes, and the cost to host this store. You will be prompted to choose a non-profit before adding the map to your shopping cart. (The non-profits have received more than $80,000 from the sale of the paper map.)
You may also want to order the Avalanche Slope Ruler when you order a map.
