Comprehensive description of Yosemite ski tours

This book has 34 or so ski tours at all levels in 78 pages. It covers not just the Badger Pass area but also Yosemite Valley south wall chutes (for advanced skiers!), Crane Flat north of the valley, Tuolumne Meadows, Tioga Pass to the east, and 3 Trans-Sierra tours. Detailed b & w topo maps trace each tour.What's missing? An index would be nice (although it has a Table of Contents). Also, I would like the old ski trails described. These trails went down from the top of the downhill ski area (near Tempo Dome) down to Highway 41. The one still trail that's still maintained is described (Chinquapin), but what about Strawberry Creek. Old signs mark the run. Also what about the trail from Ostrander Lake to Buena Vista Peak or Horse Ridge?
