Quick Observation

We used sleds to access to the north side of Taiya to complete a loop ski tour. We skinned up onto the glacier and gained the col at 1900 m to drop into the Summit Creek side down the wide Little Chamonoix gully run off of Taiya. Snow on the south aspects was crusty from previous wind and sun, but skiiable. We saw old debris from previous wet loose slides out of the rocks in high alpine terrain and at least one of these slides had pulled out a thin windslab size 1.5. But today we saw no new avalanches and stability felt good enough for us to step out into some steeper terrain. Travel was fast, visibility was excellent. The sun was out all day, but alpine temps stayed just below zero and snow stayed dry.
