Weak layers at Bacon Rind - Video

We toured up Bacon Rind to the meadow just south of the skillet. We got a whumpf within 5 minutes of leaving the car and another 5 throughout the day. This told us that the snowpack was unstable and would have kept us out of avalanche terrain regardless of our snowpack test results.Snowpack was generally 3-4 ft deep with ~18 inches of facets at the ground. Dug right where we left the valley floor at the site of our first whumpf (7,100 ft, S aspect) and again again at the top of the main meadow (8800 ft, E aspect). 3 ft of snow in both pits. ECPT18 & ECTP17 on 2 mm fist hardness facets in both pits. This weak snow is unfortunately going to be a problem for quite a while.
