Whitewater Backcountry Touring
Skiers can access incredible backcountry terrain from Whitewater, however, we encourage them to check with our Snow Safety Patrol for an update on the avalanche hazard. We recommend that skiers be equipped with backcountry knowledge, rescue equipment and avalanche awareness as these areas are not patrolled.
