Aside from the obvious nice heavy top crust snow, is it possible to
skate on snow which is say, 9 inches deep and untraveled? Or is trail
breaking something you can't do at all wit skate skis?

No. You can't skate in those conditions, especially with skate skis;
I've tried it. There's a snowmobile trail I can sometimes skate on, and since
it's their trail, I get off of it when they come by.
