Near Big Sky today we found 8-14" of right side up storm snow from 7500' to 9400' on a south southeast aspect.  We observed very minimal and isolated cracking on the occasional wind pillow, but by and large the snow was non-reactive, unconsolidated, and very well bonded to the stout crust below.  

Winds were light and variable and it snowed lightly all day, accumulating about 3" by the late afternoon.
