2 gals who don't break trail, break trail

Our duo was hopeful for mellow slopes after the recent weekend snow storm. Unfortunately, the slopes of Becher were so mellow that we couldn't actually ski downhill that well because of the significantly heavy, wet snow. It was a true grind to break trail for the 6km trek up. We needed skins for some of the downhill too, uh oh! We observed no signs of instability, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there. Approx 20cm++ of new, heavy snow sitting on well-adhered icy layers underneath. Our skis did not cut down to the ice layer while skinning or skiing. Probe measured over 300cm at the Becher peak. Temperature +1 all day. No wind for us, but noticed a very small wind slab at the peak, which is typical for Becher. This would have been a lovely snowshoe day, or perhaps if someone else could break trail!!
