The section on skis in FOTH 8 does little more than relegate them to impedimenta, or at most an approach tool of dubious merit, unless you happen to be an expert skier. The section mentions that skis have value, but does little to paint a picture of what ski mountaineering really can be. This seems inadequate with the recent explosive growth in back country skiing. Ski Mountaineering is a full-fledged branch of Mountaineering in itself which there isn't space to describe fully in this text, but which should be given it's true value in the context of Mountaineering as a discipline in FOTH 9.
