Couldn't be bothered to do pictures as ski quality went to pot with high FLs

Yeah..  Those conditions look terrible...  From the looks of it, the first part of the video only has 8-12" rideable pow. 

Did it turn to muck after that or did it maintain?

whoops -= higher FLs only to the end of the trip

Day 1 - was 5% water content snow (moderate density for the Pass) and yeah - I'd say about 30 - 40cms ski pen so your guess is about right.  Ie knee to hip-deep powder

Day 2 - was actually deeper due to aspect and windloading but substantially less stable.  Scary actually with slides starting on 20 - 25 deg slopes

Day 3 was when FL's went sky high
