I have skied a reported 1" at Stowe that, because of the surface it fell on, and the wind blowing it into the trees felt much deeper and we were skiing mid calf deep snow with a smooth, soft bottom. I have skied 7" of light fluff on top of a hard frozen surface that felt like dust on crust and every turn was a hard, scraping thing that the fluff on top only served to hide and disguise.
I prefer about 1'- 2'. Much more than that starts to become hard to deal with, for me anyway...not necessarily to ski it, but, harder to get around when not moving down mountain.
