Found HS 155cm at 1700m with 55cm on top of the recent crust. First day the snow below the crust didn't seem noticeably wet. We were on W and SW aspects between 1700 and 2000m and noted very little variation in surface snow between aspects and elevations....all pretty unconsolidated powder on top of the crust.
