- <p>We triggered a few nice whumpfs. Horrible snowpack structure. An area with a shallow, rotten snowpack.</p>
We decided to try a quick ski up at Sunrise Campground. On a very crowded weekend in Logan Canyon, we found pleasant and quiet conditions, with just a few other people and freshly groomed ski and snowshoe trails. As well as fantastic views of Bear Lake, we found very poor snowpack structure and persistent weak layers of very weak faceted snow and we triggered a few heart-stopping collapses or whumpfs.
Snowpit stability tests consistently showed full propagation and pretty unstable snow. (short video)
Snowpack
Stiff, kinda dense, coastal "powder." Consistency of mashed potatoes.
