Some ski areas are said to be in a snow shadow. If there is an opposite term for that, it could be used to describe Whitewater. This ski area gets significantly more snow than its regional rivals, and it has awesome terrain with which to shred it on a pow day.
There are 3 sides to the Whitewater ski area. Silver King and Summit sides surround you when you arrive at the lodge. It is a spectacular view here, especially for a skier or boarder carrying avalanche gear. Both of these sides are serviced by double chairs.
