Wheeler

135-145 cm HS and very supportable in the upper meadows. Thinner and less supportable at lower elevations and on approach. Dug a quick pit and did 2 ECTs in the east-facing low-gnar zone. ECTN teens in the layers of recent snow. ECTN upper 20s on the F+/ 4F- DH at the base of the snowpack. There is a 1m slab of (F-->1F) sitting on top of the facets. 

Skied 30 degrees and under. Seemed like you would most likely get away with skiing steeper, but I wouldn't want to be the guy to test that theory based on structure. The weak layer is still accessible for a skier or rider. 

Top-notch powder skiing today.
