Just a small bump in the winds and enough loose faceted snow along with some cold low density snow combined to make a few very isolated wind slabs right along the ridge lines. These soft slabs would break up to a foot deep, but did not have a lot of energy to them.
The conditions overall on the east side of the range look pretty good with a nice supportable base and things are plastered with a nice coat of white paint.
A couple buried rime crusts around a foot deep from the surface might be something to track over time as more snow stacks on top. I did see some small grained faceted snow above the second crust which can be common with some buried crusts.
Steep, thin, rocky and upper elevation terrain as well as slopes that have avalanched this season will have a weak snow pack and would be places to still avoid.
