Upper photo from a northwest facing slope, 9800'. Weakest layer is the graupel about an inch above the old surface crust. I'm guessing the first snow came in so warm and wet, it literally froze onto the crust, at least below about 10,000'. There is also weak snow below the crust, though ECT's had no results on this layer or the graupel. I saw no signs of the near surface facets that were around on Thursday (see Greg's observation HERE) Hopefully they were all destroyed by Friday's strong winds and warmth.

Below around 9,000', even the short periods of sun seemed to be warming the snow, and I'd expect the graupel layer to be much less sensitive.

Second photo is of of a different northerly facing spot - thinner crust, graupel still the weak layer.

Will the crust be a player other than acting as a bed surface? (in other words, could a slide break out below the crust, deeper and wider?) I'm unsure, but expect it would be isolated to upper elevation, NW, N and NE facing slopes, as the crust thickens and strengthens significantly as you drop in elevation or get onto the sunny slopes. Tomorrow, I would dig down to and below that crust if you're planning on getting onto steep, upper elevation northerly facing slopes, checking out the weaknesses above and below the crust.

Winds were almost calm off the ridge lines, but this spot shows there was enough snow to start drifting today where winds were funneled and stronger along the ridge lines.
