Summit main path was wind affected with pockets of snow deposition. The "back side" was wind affected top to bottom (similar to the photo with the bothy bag - it was windy up there!). All the local snow seems blown into the trees in the south facing valley across the ravine - super fun powder down there, but wind affected above treeline. Snow was well consolidated throughout all terrain we travelled (powder and wind affected).
