More facets in Wheaton

Summary of obs from an AST day: We worked up the drainage between Mt Wheaton and Tally-Ho, finding mostly bottomless facets, trending to unreactive wind slab above about 1100m. A warm but mostly overcast day reduced concerns of solar triggering on alpine slopes above us. Visibility was good and no recent avalanches were observed.

Variable broken to overcast skies and no evidence of wind transport at ridgetop.

CTH(BRK) on basal facets, size 2-3mm. The snow depth and quality were highly variable, and there was no wind slab in our test location. The entire snowpack varied from fist to 4-finger hardness.
