Bacon Rind

GNFAC,
I was skiing at Bacon Rind today, skiing was top notch, but the snow was running a bit slow due to the cold. It was 5F in the AM and 11F in the PM. We got one monster whumph up 200 feet from the valley at approximately 7300' on a NE facing slope. We did not observe any other signs of instability. HS around 8000' is was about 100cm, ski pen: 20cm, boot pen 45cm. A stark difference from sinking to the ground last year. I know a recon trip on Monday dug a pit near the top and found weak snow near the ground but didn't get any propagation. Today there were stiff wind slabs on the ridgeline but they disappeared quickly once we dropped into the meadows.
Sorry to hear the sad news from Cooke,
Thanks for everything!
Spencer
