Good snow accumulation in the past few days, and cooler temperatures seem to have kept it light and powdery. Didn't measure, but guessing 80-100cm deep near the top of the ridge, and did feel firmer underneath (maybe 60cm or so down). Definitely lots of early season hazards out there (rocks, stumps, creeks); we avoided dropping too low in valley bottom to avoid some.
