Snowshoed Becher up to 1250m elevation, no signs of recent slabs to that point. It was starting to blizzard near the summit. Even with snowshoes I post holed a few times as the snow is not packed. The snowpack is quite powdery, and significant snowfall forecasting in the next 24 hours after my hike without time for consolidation of current layer of snow increases risk of avalanche conditions.
