STATE OF THE SNOWPACK UPDATE FOR WHITEWATER SKI RESORT

Kutetl, Whitewater Ski Resort Backcountry 
Aspect: East 
Elevation 2140m 

FAT & LOW ANGLE 
That's probably going to be the theme for the season. We are avoiding shallow snowpacks, especially those over rocky/unsupported terrain, where these layers are closer to the surface and easier to trigger. There is still good riding out there in low-angle terrain! It looks like hopefully some more fresh snow in the forecast.
