20-30 cms of new snow over crust on east approach to Cleveland. More on Lee features, 55cms on NW glacier down to chilkoot trail. NE aspect a little less. South and east aspects got sun affected up to 1800m. Point releases observed and we minimized exposure to cornices! NE couloir from Cleveland proper had sloughed out from natural storm snow release over crust (I assume)! Very little wind, however if wind and temps warm up slabs will develop on polar aspects also .phenomenal skiing, trail breaking was two Beers worth today
