Observed numerous size one - two slab and point release avalanches in Cabin and North bowl today at Hankin. Slides went from 50m -200m with crowns from 20m to 200m. Looks like numerous wind slabs failed yesterday and a few likely since the snow has stopped falling this morning. Slabs occurred on N and NW aspects while point release were occurring on steep, rocky NE aspects Excellent skiing to be had out there - 35cm of fresh at the warming hut!
