Sugary facets and wumphing on Emigrant peak

Date
Activity
Skiing

We were forced to turn around yesterday on emigrant peak. We heard 2 large wumphs occur under our feet while skinning up and a visible crack was also seen. We dug a pit and obtained a score of 14 and it propagated all the way across the snow pack. The snow near the ground is very sugary and weak. This was on a SE facing slope at 7500 feet.
