Good deep turns at Stevens today!  Got about 1000' on the backside and two laps of Double Diamond on the frontside.  It pretty much dumped all day and moderate winds really helped move the snow around.  There was probably 7 or 8" on the car, but up higher the wind deposited snow much deeper than that. 
Things seemed pretty stable in the morning, but by the afternoon, a soft windslab of 4-6 inches was forming up on Double Diamond and you really had to manage your sluffs.
