With uncertainty around the opening of the road we decided to try to ski a line off Mount Wheaton down Annie Lake Road. 1 suggestion. DONT. There is a crust up to 1300m where we turned around. Below that there is either a 4 finger slab (20-30cm deep) on facets or only facets. HS was 50-70cm throughout. Significant snow transport visible at ridge top
