[pct-l] Winter backpacking: any good books?

[Bryan Cox]

I was a hiker PCT in 05' In the Sisters area. We hit our first taste of snow. 
And I mean a lot of snow. We were willing to turn around because the three  of 
us never hiked in long distant snow field before til we met a small group of 
pct'ers (names unknown) They had a small dog that lead the way for us over the 
snow fields. I always remember how much I didn't have faith that the dog could 
lead our way and wanting to turn back, but she did find 20 mi of trail under 
many feet of snow. So are dog ok on the trail? Friend to man, what to Trail?

I have always been intimidated by winter. But Ned's posts are helping me
realize that the right gear and the right skills can make winter fun!

So are there any good books on winter and snow travel? I would like
something rich in both theory and practice,  sort of the 'Beyond
Backpacking' of snow.
