Very little snow fresh snow down low but 35cm up above 2100m. Snow quality is amazing! The new snow is sitting on a thin crust that was not supportive. At 2000m there is only 10cm of new snow and a second crust 10cm below the first one. both crust were reactive to hand sheer tests, with the upper one easier and more planar. We had lots for cracking (none shooting) from 2000m to 2100m and then less as we climbed to the ridge top around 2300m. The snow pack below the new snow and crusts is very moist and you can get a ski pole easily 60cm down. No wind tonight, and it looks like the fresh snow was came with some North winds.
