We went to the Microwave today to investigate how the weekend warm temps affected the snowpack. Seems like the freezing level rose all the way up to 1400m with a slight crust under 5-10 cm of new snow. This crust gets noticeably thicker as you drop elevation. The snow pack at tree line and above has also settled with the mild temps, with only ~25 cm of boot penetration and less while on the snowmobile. We felt one whumpf on a regroup which we suspect was the Late Nov SH collapsing, which was down 70cm in out test pit. We stayed away from steep slopes and had a great day.
