Triggered a small wind slab after landing a re-entry maneuver. Observed a lot of wind blown/crusty terrain throughout the area, a lot of sun crusts, some surface hoar (both standing up and laying flat) and very inconsistent snow conditions. Weather was warm, light wind from the west when up on high elevation aspects.
