Quick Observation

Toured up into Feather and over the subpeak, down the SW chutes onto the Cleveland Glacier above the Chilkoot trail, and out Cleveland to the road. Wind was heavy at the road but calm once we ascended through the Feather notch. Moderate warming throughout the day from -22 at the road in the morning to -5 to -10 up higher. Snow quality near the road was heavily wind affected and crusty but improved significantly as we climbed. Ski penetration in the Feather basin and up the Cleveland glacier was 10-20cm on mild to moderately wind pressed snow. Isolated pockets of wind slab on all aspects but no widespread issues. We didn't observe any whumphing, cracking, naturals or other problems.
