exposed rock, hard slabs, pockety nature make the picture impossible to generalize.  Glazing on east facing and hard slabs NE through N will make for great sliding surfaces with new snow.

We tried to pick a spot for pit representative of due north wind loaded slopes.  we started ECT's well down off ridge and were getting consistent 7-9 Q 1 on a zipper wind crust down about 6"8".  As we worked our way up to the ridge line, near the top the depth remained the same, but the hard slab became stronger as you expect, and stopped propagating, but hung together down to old MF crust at ground interface. 

We did not find the old faceted October snow the is problematic in the Central Wasatch, don't feel this area got much snow earlier on, and what did fall, the constant wind and warmer weather have done a number on it.  It is worth mentioning we could find faceted snow in rocky areas where more air space was available, and this is supported by natural activity noted middle slope in known rocky areas.  The wrench in the works is knowing where these rocky areas are, combined with the required slope angle, aspect, and exposure to the wind to created a land mine.  Much thought should be given to watching out for shallow pack over rocky areas in the future as the winter progresses.

Good news, visually no too enticing, barely white in places, scattered coverage will make getting around difficult.  Shark teeth (love the analogy) everywhere, timber knock down from last year a big barrier in places, and things are pretty much welded in place due to warmer weather, constant wind, and time.

Bad news: only routes snow covered enough to traverse are right next to cornices that failed last storm cycle.
