More of the Same

We rode into Taylor Fork towards Carrot Basin today. What we found was a snowpack that was mostly top-to-bottom facets, similar to what we are seeing in the rest of the advisory area. If we stepped off our sleds we would sink through the entire snowpack in any areas with undisturbed snow. We wallowed out to the wilderness boundary and dug on a SW-facing slope at 8800'. The structure of the snowpack was quite poor and we saw ECTX results as there is no slab above this weak snow, as snow returns this weekend into next week that will likely change. Overall the structure in Taylor Fork is very poor, while there may be isolated areas where a slab above weak snow exists, we did not find that setup during our ride today.
