Skied in Hidden Valley (2 runs from saddle at the head of the valley and one on the south side). Dug a pit at the base of the saddle. Hs 255 cm. 60 cm of storm snow from the last 6 days on a light sun crust, then well consolidated snow below this. Storm snow is bonded well to the crust and older snow. Lots of wind transport by moderate SW winds of the snow that fell with NE winds. Skied some good wind pressed powder and didn't see any cracks or settling.
