So, if you’ve been waiting for some new material, that wait is over! Almost……Pre-order is now available, and the books are scheduled to ship early November. For every book we sell on pre-order, I am personally matching a guaranteed one inch of snow, to fall on the Eastern Sierra between November and June, of the 14/15 winter season. If we sell 100 book, I will deliver 100 inches of snow. 200 books=200 inches. 500 books? You do the math.So, it’s up to you! Order here: http://wolverinepublishing.com/backcountry-skiing-sierra-nevadaHere’s the details:This one is an expansion on the first edition. It’ll cover the entire East Side, with 14 chapters: Lone Pine Independence Big Pine Bishop Pine Creek Rock Creek Mcgee Convict Mammoth June Tioga Lundy Virginia BridgeportAnd over 200 descents, including things like Whitney, and most of CA’s 14’ers Lone Pine Peak Deerhorn Mountain University The Palisades South Lake Mt Mendel The Buttermilks Feather Peak White Fang Mt Ritter Red Slate The Negatives Dana Plateau Matterhorn Peak Incredible Hulk and so on….Some sample pages: August 25, 2014 at 9:16 pm #677099 96avs01 875 PostsHellyeah, BRAVO Dan! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:165 Venture Divide/Spark Frankenburners/La Sportiva Spantiks 163W Jones Solution/Phantom Alphas/Dynafit TLT5s 162 FurbergChris August 26, 2014 at 12:01 am #677100 THESYSTEMSPLIT 88 Postsordered :clap: August 26, 2014 at 2:53 am #677101 EBwest 71 Poststhe best news i’ve heard in a while!

Dave Pegg, the owner of Wolverine Publishing, has passed away. I’m still sorting out the details on things at the moment. But, as far as pre-orders are concerned, things might be on hold for a little while. I believe Wolverine was mostly a one-man operation, and Dave was it. So, if you’ve pre-ordered, please be patient. It sounds like at least some books shipped last week. I’ll relay info as I get it.”http://www.dpmclimbing.com/articles/…publisher-gone November 12, 2014 at 2:13 am #677111 bcd 232 PostsThanks all. Yeah, there’s some bad news at the moment. But after I posted that on TGR, I got a few confirmations that books were being delivered. So I’m optimistic that they all went out. I’ll keep you posted when I know more. And, yes, I dug through my photo archives and pulled out a few hidden gems. Like bcrider with the sixpack. There’s even an appearance by Steeleman (remember that guy!?!?!?!) from that same trip. Maybe this will bring him out of hiding…….
