Skied the Simpson burn up to ~1900m. 10cm of new on a supportive mid pack higher but endless facets in the steeper rocky terrain. 5cm MFcr lower down on the surface and very punchy and grabby. 50cm at the road and lots of deadfall still showing but decent coverage after 1400m. No signs of instability but stuck to conservative terrain. Some evidence of small slides down the slide paths and through the cliff bands but nothing recent.
