Kutetl Creek East Burn

Challenging Terrain. Excellent zone with great skiing although it is often wind hammered at the top the lower slopes hold snow long after a storm. There are steep upper pitches and the slope just below the summit of Half Dome is a frequent avalanche slope. There is a bench mid way down this area and then it rolls over again at the bottom. Be cautious of the steep slopes at the bottom as surface hoar lingers here and size two avalanches occur here regularly.
