Skied up to the Hankin summit via the North Bowl, and then back down a similar way, plus run 1. No signs of activity in the past day, but signs of small avalanches that likely occured 2-3 days ago in the bowl. We avoided windslabs on steep slopes, although the ones we crossed on gentle slopes were not reactive. Snow was heavily wind-affected on all aspects above tree-line, and packed somewhat in the bottom of the bowl too. It was all about the views, sunshine and skiing along alpine ridges. Run 1 gave us some powder.
