INTERNET RESOURCES

This is just a small sampling of the Web sites that are available to the Randonnée skier. Many of these sites have their own links as well. Since the internet is so well used, I tried to include some unusual sites that you may not have heard of.

There are some fun sites out there . . .such as Lou Dawson's "Wildsnow.com" which contains a huge collection of backcountry information especially when it comes to fine tuning equipment, or "knotandrope.com" which is actually a boating web site, but contains an excellent list of knots which can be used for mountaineering as well as boating.

This list will be regularly updated, so please check back often!
