The amount of new snow received appeared to vary greatly by aspect and terrain. Where I dug a quick pit, there was about 16" of new snow on top of the ice layer (W, 8900') but just a a couple hundred yards away in more sheltered, northerly terrain there was upwards of 26", some of which appear to be deposited from the winds. While north and shaded aspects don't have a sun crust from the past week, other aspects do and it makes a very uniform layer for the new snow to slide on. I could not get anything to give in my pit but this seems to be from the low density of the snow/not enough snow and low angle. I would expect that in steeper or more complex terrain and with more snow that the new snow will be more reactive.
