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

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