Around noon the sun came out and temperatures rapidly warmed up to 0C at Treeline and below. From the the top of Wawa hump to Healy Creak Trail we found cakey storm slabs 20cm deep sitting on facets from the warm temperatures today and yesterday. Trail breaking and skiing were difficult, with hooky snow. The slabs didn't feel very reactive but we were glad that are route stayed less than 30 degrees. Extensive whumpfing on all aspects and elevations. Shoot cracks up to 30m at Treeline.
