We walked / snow shoed up to Chamossiere, 2010m.  The rain had mixed in with the snow and formed a fair base, best above 1800m. Hard to talk depths thanks to the windblown nature but 20 to 30 cm seems about right. We witnessed one skier descend very tidily from the summit. He only hit a couple of rocks lower down. If you do head out on the weekend choose your under surface carefully!
