Comments

Went for a few laps of Becher. Lots of fresh tracks to be had. Skin track up to the ski area was completely covered up so broke a new trail. Stable snowpack on slopes we rode, even in some steep 35° slopes as well, some sloughing on steeps. Stayed away from slopes with terrain traps. Snow was boot deep in the trees, more dense and ankle deep in open treeline areas. Open areas were slightly wind and fog affected.
