Skied powder 8's and fishbowl (SW facing) and zimbuk 1 (NE facing). Based on the slopes we skied, observed wind event from a few days ago that scoured south aspects and loaded north ones. New snow is ~20 cm and not wind affected. On N facing slopes the snow is up to ~40-50 cm deep before you can feel more crusty layers. Did not observe any natural activity from the new snow, and observed some debris on north facing slopes likely from a couple of days ago.
