Nice walk up mount Wheaton today, with broken skies in the morning, around 12 the wind started picking up, into the strong range at ridge top. New windslabs were developing as we boot packed and scrambled on the ridge. Used a belay protected ski cut to enter steep terrain and got multiple windslabs to go to size 1.5 Skiing was heavy but very good. Snow depth in sheltered areas was 150cm
