Mount Beecher

<p>400m from the top of Beecher the slopes got steeper and a 4 inch crust was sliding from light pole wacks. It seemed like a wind slab had formed on this last steep pitch so we decided to turn around and take a safer alternate route on the right hand side of the gully. Snow was deep and moderately heavy riding from the top of Beecher. Snow seemed to be forming better once in the trees on the lower cut runs. </p>
