I was able to get the new snow to easily fail on my compression test. A few more taps and the rest of the snow from the previous storm failed. The layers both had too much friction to slide off the block.

Snowpack

Surface snow up high was light enough to ski, however; the old snow was damp.  Thanks to the medium snow density I stayed clear of the typically wind loaded terrain and instead kept my angles low and stayed clear of open slopes.
