Chill day on Parker ridge, summer trail was filled in until 2200m where we found unsheltered areas had significant wind effect/ really low HS. In open trees, and sheltered areas variable HS up to 55cm, minimum was 30cm Had to play around to find stuff out of the wind, to make better skiing and steer clear from the lookers right face near ridgetop, some evident debris (48hrs +) near the end of on avalanche path on an NE slope
