The Canadian Rockies A Winter Paradise

The Canadian Rockies A Winter Paradise

A showcase of the beauty of the Canadian Rockies in winter in softcover format. The thought of the Canadian Rockies in winter evokes images of a mountainous winter playground blanketed in snow, of abundant wildlife scattered through the wilderness, of winter resorts filled with skiers and snowboarders, and of grandiose mountain lodges infused with holiday cheer. From the thrill of spotting a pack of wolves to the excitement of a backcountry ski adventure, the alluring images of local photographer of Craig Douce in The Canadian Rockies: A Winter Paradise will take you on a memorable journey through one of the world s most scenic landscapes. About Summerthought Publishing: Summerthought was founded in 1971 in Banff with the publication of the Canadian Rockies Trail Guide. We remain a vibrant, proudly independent publisher producing books about the Canadian Rockies. Our writers and illustrators are all locals, mostly experts in their fields, and our books are printed here in Canada. The cover may lead you to believe that the pages are filled with majestic peaks, and there is some of that, but this book is filled with photos that display life in the Canadian Rockies when storms rage, the fishing is through ice, and the water freezes. --Banff Crag and Canyon A good grab for those passing through or a gift for those who live in lands far away - perhaps one of the majority in the world where snow is just a word and arresting images on glossy paper. --Canmore Leader Craig Douce is a Canmore, Alberta-based photographer whose editorial, fine art, and event images have been published by clients worldwide. Since graduating from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology s Journalism Arts program, he has received numerous photography awards and his work has been exhibited in locations such as the Banff Centre, the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, and in many private collections.
