In the Far East, as the forecast called it, only 10-15 cm overnight with very strong SW winds. Dumping wet snow and blowing hard all morning, with the snow level at ~1200 m. Lots of wind loading on any lee slopes. New snow was actually bonding decently to the old, and no cracking, but too much wind loading for our tastes, so we skied a few low angle slopes in wet crud.
