Nice, been there done that oh so many times. We've also learned that when the temps get warm after a cold night we only go in the deep stuff until about noon. Any time after that the snow becomes so soft that we would find ourselves in this same predicament over and over unless we were just playing on the flats. One thing that we want to get is a set of the 10+ inch wide skies to swap on for that type of riding.
It looks like getting out of the throttle a little earlier might have helped.

FYI we pack snow shoes and a shovel to help in that type of situation.
We also have a bungee tool that attaches to the ski with a handle on the other end for getting out of situations.
