Deep chutes/still good

Sunday was good after 15cm from night before, well monday was better after another 10cm reset. Slight SE wind 10km/hr gusting to 15km/hr late morning, tapered off later in afternoon. Enough to lightly fill skin track in on intermediate chute ridges. On these specific transitional ridges as expected I experienced slightly variable snow and every now and then localized cracking underfoot that didnt propogate at all. Apart from that, snow from 24hr appears to have bonded well with 48hr and 72hr snow/wind pressed snow. No natural avys to report with clear views of most aspects in area. East aspect alpine to the south of chutes looked significantly wind affected, with direct Lee slopes appearing loaded. Locally on higher elevations of the chutes the alpine looked textured but was alone so didn't tempt what snow felt like higher than treeline. Ski pen 40-50cm. It's DEEP out there in protected spots, *ALMOST* makes travel downhill too slow. Bring snorkel.
