Bacon Rind area
Went on a tour today down in the bacon rind, (slightly south of the skillet), my truck read -32 degrees at 8:30am when I started skinning. I dug a pit down to the ground at roughly 8800 on a east aspect. The total snowpack was 120cm. The bottom of the snowpack was all facets from ground to 25 ish cm. This was the only ugliness I saw in my column. The snow from the past 7 days was pretty much the whole column, I believe started at 30 ish cm. The snow fell right side up, very firm above the facets and gradually got softer towards the surface. Snow seemed very supportable, as it was not issue to step off skis as I only dropped 6 inches. Was not able to observe any recent avalanche activity in the area.
