Didn't see signs of instability in new snow at Ross Meadows

Activity
Skiing
Toured up to the meadows below Ross Peak today. Didn't see much cracking within the new snow (mostly just directly under our skis). At around 8000' we found a foot of right side up snow above a crust. I dug a hand pit below the crust and didn't get any planar failure. On our way down we started to see the surface snow getting heavier as it warmed up.
We were in a fairly protected zone but saw a few small patches of soft wind slab and noticed snow being transported over the ridge above us when visibility was good.
