Difficult to determine total new snow depth due to wind during the previous night and during the day. Some locations showed 1-2inches, drifted areas were 6-8 inches. We didn't get into the higher alpine terrain but there was ample evidence of wind loading in exposed areas during the tour. Wind loaded areas were thick and dense. No signs of cracking or settling in wind loaded areas. Skiing in sheltered trees was quite good.
