Snowpack

N/NW Aspect. 6500ft. 28 degree incline. ECTX. 45cm down there is an 8cm rain/melt crust. Insignificant temperature variation around it (1 degree or less). 1.5m total snow. Generally speaking right side up snowpack, however rain crust was weaker than the snow around it but we did not witness any collapsing.
