Photo of profile at 9800' north facing along the PC ridgeline.
The surface snow - owing to warmth and cloud cover - did not seem very weak to me. The more widespread issues are the midpack or facets above the basal crust.
Above photo NNE aspect at 9000', no basal crust but very weak snow at the midpack and below.
Snowpack
Still just 8-16" of total snow on the shady aspects.
