New snow and wind at Fairy Lake

We rode to the the Fairy/Frazier Basin divide today to check out snow conditions and see what people had gotten up to over the weekend.  The new snow had settled to about 4" or so and we did not notice any wind affect at lower elevations on the road but did find some deeper drifts hiding in the lee pockets in the meadows higher up.  The climb up to the divide with Frazier only had 2-3 inches of fresh snow on it, and the saddle was nearly bare.  Under the new snow there is a in places stout crust from the warmup last week (and past wind) which made for unpredictable riding. There were slick spots, breakable spots, and some fresh drifts. The ridge lines all were scoured as expected from the recent wind but we did not see any significant recent avalanche activity in the new snow, only a couple very small pockets had slid near the ridge tops and these were few and far between.
