We rode the open areas at treeline under Little Highwood Pass on Pocaterra Ridge. At and around treeline 10 cm of fresh/windblown on an older Windpacked/consolidated layer, which was on top of crust/sugar depending on location. Riding quality was good though getting tracked by end of day. Nov 6 crust was supportive to skis and boots with only one or two boot punch throughs while transitioning. Alpine slopes appeared much more wind affected and were avoided. Hope this is helpful, still new at these.
Weather
