Saturday/Sunday spent at feather lapping a few of the 20-30 degree slopes in and around Cleveland access.

Saturday- 10-15 cm wind pockets of dry powder snow clearly heavily wind transported in glades.

2-5 cm overtop of bullet firm melt freeze crust on windward and Lee slopes in alpine.

4 degrees at 2pm start. A balmy 8 degrees by 5pm sent rapid snow change to granular wet corn.

Sunday- more of the same, with temp rise earlier in day. 8 degrees by 1pm.

2-3 cm overnight.

Fun skiing on the right slope at the right time.

145 cm probe depth, resistant crust clunking probe plunge consistent at 45-50cm down.
