Today we skied at Hankin. The road in is really really icy. The skin track up to the hut is also really icy and made for difficult skinning. Above the hut (1450 m) a few centimetres of new snow has refreshed ski quality. Below the new snow there was a thin wind slab that we did not see any reactive on during our day.
We observed previous pinweeling and small cornice failure from earlier in the week due to warm temperatures and sun at high treeline/low alpine. We noted that the previous warm temperatures did not trigger persistent slabs in this area. In a profile, we noted that the persistent layers are less defined compared to other locations in our region (i.e. Seaton and Babines). With colder temperatures, we felt comfortable taking a step out to ski a run in Cabin Bowl.
