Snowpack Summary
Not much is changing out there right now. Expect to encounter a temperature crust above 2200m on solar aspects. You may find it in some areas lower than this but the cooler temps seem to have limited its development at the lower elevations. In the Alpine, Its a mixed bag of windslabs, powder snow, and bare ground. Surface hoar is still continuing to grow in the lower elevations (TL and below) and the snowpack is losing strength in thinner areas as it continues to facet.
Problems
Wind Slabs
Wind Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab) formed by the wind. Wind typically transports snow from the upwind sides of terrain features and deposits snow on the downwind side. Wind slabs are often smooth and rounded and sometimes sound hollow, and can range from soft to hard. Wind slabs that form over a persistent weak layer (surface hoar, depth hoar, or near-surface facets) may be termed Persistent Slabs or may develop into Persistent Slabs.
