Skied SW facing terrain off of mt. Hanover via deeks lake trail. Snowfall started at 11am and continued until 4pm. 20cm had accumulated by the end of the day with moderate-strong SE winds. Around-2/-3 @1550m. Steep slopes and chutes lee of ridge-crests were sloughing naturally in the area by 2pm. While skiing we were able to trigger point release slough earlier in the day, propagating wider as the snow kept falling. Didnt notice any large debris from the previous storm cycle under bigger terrain in the area. Vis was too poor to spot any possible crowns from previous cycle. Recent storm snow from a few days ago seemed to be settling nicely and didn't react to any ski cutting on steep convexities.
