Got windy making way up ridge/final ramp (W15-20kph). No wind affected snow all day. Noticed blowing snow at the roll to the top. One run down N side of purple (skiers right of ridge) was unsupportive - brushed rocks a few times. But 2nd exit NW (bowl to larch exit) was great skiing and fully supported with 20-25cm light snow. Quick dig at 2580m NNW @30 on purple uptrack - HS50cm, F to 20cm, 1F to base. CT21 (non-planar) (hard to tell for sure) at interface.
