This will bring recent snow totals from ZERO to 25 cm, and expect surface conditions to be equally variable.  This trace-25 cm of recent snow has buried a weak layer of surface hoar that reported to be widespread and sits on a variety of old surfaces including old wind slabs, soft faceted snow or thin crusts in steep solar.    Below 1600 m, 30-40 cm of snow is settling above a decomposing melt freeze crust.  Check out this MIN from Chappell creek.
