Bacon Rind

-Average HS at 8800’ 70cm
-Many small, localized collapses in E-facing meadows above 8600’ once away from existing skin tracks
- Calm to light winds from SW; trees holding 3-6” of snow depending on elevation; trace of new snow accumulated throughout the day; Sky obscured for much of the morning and early afternoon

Pit data from 8900’, E aspect, 25 degree slope:

Weakest layer is 1.5 to 2 mm facets found 30 cm above ground. Test results on this layer were ECTP13, ECTP 17, and PST 20/100 (end) down 35 cm on the facets.

Poor snowpack structure but at least it’s quick and easy digging :-)
