Weak snow at bacon rind

Toured some low angle terrain at bacon rind this morning. We did not experience any cracking/collapsing, even with the weak faceted snow below the 6-8" of snow that fell last week. Weather was calm, light winds and mostly obscured skies, but the sun did poke out a few times. Flurries began after 12. Dug a quick pit at 8700', East aspect, just below the ridgeline. HS130. 0-30cm was 4finger facets, some of which were very large crystals. Very thin crust @30. From 0-90 the snowpack consisted of faceted crystals. From 30cm to 90cm, the hardness decreased from fist hardness to finger moving towards the top. 90cm to 130cm was the storm snow that fell last week, which had been drifted by the wind, but was unreactive. ECTN11, Q3, no propagation. Below the ridgeline, in the burn glades the snow was not wind affected. Attached is a picture of the depth hoar.
