Then as we were heading across Cardiff towards Mineral on an East facing slope we found a pocket that had pulled out from a previous ski cut.  Looked like it went on a ski cut up to 18" deep. East facing and likely loaded up with the same winds as the Days slide. As I approached the crown I got a loud collapse and shooting crack, so there's a lot of energy stored in some of these pockets that could really ruin your day. Skied out Westerly facing Mineral fork without incident. Snow was heavy but stable and skied well.
Both in one isolated pocket described above.
A lot of it early seemed mostly out of the West.
Heavy density snow.

I was really surprised that there was as much wind transport.  We definitely observed a pocket of considerable.

By the afternoon ~4pm things seemed to have settled a lot with quite a bit of sun and warmth.  Probably a moderate day tomorrow, but there are the odd energetic windslabs that could ruin your day.
