Another 40cm by the afternoon beginning to get moist and heavy on the surface as temps warmed up throughout the day. Riding on recently tracked trails was reasonable, but very difficult as soon as you ventured off. Over a meter of recent snow sits above a sugary faceted base, making it possibly to fall up to your neck in spots. Pretty obvious signs of poor avalanche conditions (not to mention difficult travel) kept us in simple low angle terrain.
