Updated ‘bible’ explores Eastern Sierra skiing
By Benjamin Spillman, Reno Gazette-Journal
Exploring the Eastern Sierra backcountry can be a spiritual experience — especially in winter. So it makes sense it would have its own bible.
That’s what skier Nate Greenberg and snowboarder Dan Mingori wanted to create with the book “Backcountry Skiing California’s Eastern Sierra,” a compilation of more than 200 snow descents from Mount Whitney to Matterhorn Peak.
The second edition of the book, published by Wolverine Publishing late last year, is another layer in the budding archive of information on the region Greenberg and Mingori trace back to the 1992 book “Backcountry Skiing in the High Sierra” by John Moynier.
“That was our go-to bible for quite a long time,” said Greenberg. “I wanted to produce something that was as much sort of a bible or reference point that inspired everybody else as it did me.”
