~10+' shooting cracks off the skis in the typical upside-down storm snow. Snow on the lower mountain was pasted in with much more constant and higher density, no red flags.
High winds up to 45kts, 28f on top, >32f at base.
Blowing snow was drifting up to 1' deep predominately on the west/leeward side on the upper mountain. Below the new snow was packed/firm. Did not get anything to move w/ski cuts but avoided any consequential terrain up high.
