Variable crusts on Slide mountain

Trace to 1" of new snow on Slide mountain this morning.  We observed some evidence of wind transport of new snow, but no areas with enough snow to form a hazard.  A variable 1-3cm melt freeze crust had formed at the surface of the new snow from last week.  This crust could be found on all but the most shaded N aspects.  The crust varied in supportability depending on aspect, and had anywhere from 5-15cm of low density snow beneath it.  Shaded N aspects still held cold snow from last weeks storm.  Below freezing temps, cloud cover, and light winds seemed to limit any surface melting on S aspects at this elevation, S aspects were still firm around 1 pm.
