Tried to go for the S summit of Hudson Bay but the final ridge line was too corniced and I couldn't tell their extent so turned around. Skiing down was actually surprisingly fun even though it was all wind blasted. Was able to connect soft snow pitches together. Lots of wind slabs around, but generally were quite small in extent and not connected. They also weren't touchy, jumped on a couple but the cracking was contained to just my skis. Stayed on purely mellow terrain but didn't hear any whumpfing or see any naturals.
