Many of you might have seen this already, but just in case you had not:
IFMGA Guide Mark Smiley (yes, married to skimo charger Janelle Smiley) has put together a complete video instruction series for backcountry skiing and ski mountaineering.
It is very thorough.
It also has several advantages over a printed book. Obviously, you can see things in video that you can not in still photos or drawings. Even better, you can ask questions and get an answer. And, he promised to update the gear chapters, which are alway an Achilles heel of printed media, since they get outdated so quickly.
