Tutshi Chutes

<p>Fun day of skiing the chutes but it still feels like an early season snow pack. Below tree line the snowpack is fairly well consolidated and about 80cm - 100cm deep. Still shallow enough for some awesome alder bashing and down tree hoping. Skin track is surprisingly in ok shape still (if you stick to the main one). At tree line and above it has been wind hammered first from the south and as of the 30th from the north. Exposed ridges are pullet proof crush and scoured down to less than 20cm. There are pockets that have been filled in a bit better and not as affected so choose your line carefully to avoid the sharks. At ground level in the alpine there seems to be wide spread facets, at least 5cm deep, often more like 20cm, and up to 2mm in size. </p>
