The snow above Hanging lake was all-time powder today. North-facing, mellow trees skied really well with 55cm of very light powder sitting on a density change or a thin crust (just probed, but didn't dig). There were many natural slab avalanches on steeper features/rolls on all aspects and we got easy results when stomping on some convex features (see photos).
