Did not note significant wind slab development in our travels. Went to look for possible facets/crust from 3/27 on easterly aspects; they did not reveal themselves in these locations.
Remember the big warm-up mid March? A 10-15cm thick layer of melt freeze grains 60cm down did not lock-up in the subsequent storms and drop in temps (insulated by the storm snow). I suspect this layering is most pronounced in the mid-elevation easterly aspects. Wet slabs are notoriously difficult to forecast but this layering may be something to keep an eye on.
Note black lines showing the unconsolidated wet mf grains.
Snowpack
Heavy and thick; many solars will have a breakable mf crust.
