Weather

20s with some solar a warming, clearing in the trees on West facing terrain that looked wind loaded

Snowpack

Low density slab under approximately 20cm of new soft storm snow. Faced snow to the ground below the low density slab. Hasty hand pit lower in elevation didn't seem as cohesive, but slab density and signs of weakness increase through higher elevation. Lots of whoomphing on wind loaded features, slides were not present only because the terrain was not steep enough.
