Becker Ridge Tour

Ski toured up to Becker Ridge in the afternoon for some light exercise and snow profiling practice. Clear skies, warm weather, but a relatively shallow snowpack with a known deep persistent weak layer is keeping us on relatively low angle terrain for now. Our objective was to check in on the status of the Dec. 11 weak layer that SAC has been tracking. We dug profile on the top of the north aspect of the ridge, in a clearing near the treeline. The faceted layer seems to be in the processes of sintering together, but has still not fully consolidated with the (relatively) new storm slab above.
