    This week's Avalanche Conditions Report is brought to you by Whitewater Ski Resort and looks similar to last week's since we haven't seen much change in avalanche conditions. The Feb 2nd crust has bridged our lower instabilities, and with 20-30cm of snow on top, so the skiing has improved. Our only avalanche problem is a wind slab in the alpine, and due to variable winds, this wind slab can be found on most aspects.
     
    If you are looking for some backcounty fun and education then be sure to check out the Coldsmoke Powderfest which is only a week away. It starts on Friday the 21st and runs through to Sunday the 23rd. There are limited spots available in some of our backcountry clinics so check out www.coldsmokepowderfest.com to sign up.
