We skied a couple of laps near Hanging Lake. The first lap we skied unconsolidated powder but we were on the crust underneath. The only instability was heavy sluffing. A couple of hours later, temperatures had warmed slightly with continued heavy snow and created a cakey soft slab on the crust, estimated 40cm deep. I set off a size 1 on a small convex roll, as well as observed some small (2m) shooting cracks.
