Fresh snowdrifts on east-facing slopes

In the last 24 hours, strong easterly winds have transported the snow to west-facing slopes. Snowdrifts were deposited atop unfavorably layer snowpack surfaces. On sunny slopes the old snowpack is generally hardened. The cold drifts are poorly bonded with the old snowpack which lies beneath them.
