Most slopes and aspects in the way up were wind scoured with a 2-3" windslab that will be the connection for this weeks new snow. Signs of Sastruggi everywhere except trees

This E facing slope were we dug was somewhat sheltered by ridge above but takes in heavy wind transported snow 275 cm depth but did not have a windslab

Main concern we found was about 40 cm below the surface on the V-Day crust. This layer was not well bonded and was the sliding surface for snow above. This layer will be fail point for bigger snow loads in process.

there was an additional pwl 130 cm down from the surface that did not react to ECT but we were able to break this off w shovel from behind. There were small rounding facets here that seem to be gaining some strength but is still a lurking low threat concern, mostly for shallower areas in the snowpack. The slab above this was dense and well connected ~90 cm
