Skiing up to cabin we took the summer route because we were worried about the lake conditions. On the way back we went to check the lake and decided to go across. No problem. We did a snow pit in NW, 35deg slope and we found the surface hoar about 30cm with soft snow on the top and weak layer underneath. In the snow block test the first 30cm collapsed R2-with approach and then the low weak layer 70cm deep collapsed with first jump. It was warming up during the day and drizzling. In general there was not enough snow in the area and the ski out was a hard work.
