The wind from yesterday really determined what the snow was like today.  Out of the wind, the snow was less consolidated but any location that got wind (including some spots relatively low down in the trees) had pretty dense wind affected snow.  This gave the snow a somewhat upside down feel in spots.  More importantly, there were plenty of obvious wind slabs.  In some cases, the strong southerly winds had stripped and transported snow from south to north aspects to create these wind slabs.
