I almost didn't rally this morning since I felt pretty beat up from yesterday's tour. I figured I'd take the lightweight gear out and explore the open expanses southeast of Tom's Place.
High clouds provided nice diffuse morning light.
Travel through the open terrain went quickly and I soon found myself climbing one of several chutes at the north end of Wheeler Crest.
The very upper part of the chute was firm windboard so I continued up in the trees to the west, turning around at this gnarled old tree. Nice spot to have a bite and transition.
Skiing the sculpted facets here proved to be a lot of fun!
Looking back up at the end of the run.
This is an area I've been meaning to check out for a very long time. Sure glad I rallied!

Looks thin, but fun.
