Kutetl Creek Sunday 28th

  • 2009-12-28 19:34:16
    Went up on a well established track from the Whitewater parking lot up to the ridge next to the dome on the Ymir ridge. Partly a bit icy but beside that pretty straight forward. The ridge was hardpacked and windblown. The ski down to Kutetl Creek was actually very pleasent. The snow was definetly on the heavier side, but still at lest 15-20 cm. Our group put in a new uptrack torwards Ymir Rigdge and went down again for another run with the same Quality. After that we skinned up to the ridge and skied down to the ski hill. Uper section was pretty shitty and icy. Lower section was covered with heavy snow but OK. Conditions seemed in general stable.
