We were skiing Kulshan when I took the photo so we didn't actually get on the routes, but the Cosley-Houston and the Polish route both look good. The bottom pitch of the C-H is covered in snow but otherwise looks fat. The crux pitch of the Polish route looks like an early season Cleo's and would be a difficult lead but I'm sure it would go. Cornices and steep snow wallowing above the ice may or may not pose problems on both routes.
