Weak layer in Bradley Meadows

4:30 PM Sunday Nov 6, 2022.

I was skinning up Bradley Meadows. I was about 2 switchbacks from the top on the slightly steeper pitch. I pulled over to dig a snow pit and found a week later of facets appx 7" from the surface and a second week later just above the ground. I performed a compression test which failed on the second tap from shoulder height at the upper facet. 

I interpreted this as a questionable snowpack and returned via my low angle skin track.
