Quick report
Skiing on the slope felt stable, upper shaded slopes were lighter snow. As we got into more sun-affected areas, a thin crust appeared on the surface. No cracks/collapsing observed. Snowpack is very thin, with brush and downed trees still a hazard to look out for.

Snowpack
Found two crusts buried in the snowpack, the first crust was about 55 cm down, about 10 cm thick. The second crust was about 75 cm down and very thin. We got a CT27 at 80 cm where the "new" snow met the upper crust. We got a CT29 failing on that bottom crust. ECT produced no collapses or propagation. Shovel shear test failed at the 80 cm crust with moderate pressure, we repeated it for the lower snowpack, with no other failure.
