Whumpfing and cracking at Bacon Rind

Toured up bacon rind today (12/20) with the idea of skiing off Ernest Miller ridge. Temps were above freezing when we left the trailhead and up to 9000’. On our approach we had several collapses with cracks up to 15’ out. We found a HS of 50cm and had mixed results in our pit. We stayed in the glades below the ridge, the skiing and riding was quite good. Exiting the basin was a bit sporty with minimal snow coverage.
