We skinned up towards the col of Taiya's North ridge, turning back when we encountered whumpfing and very wet snowpack. We stayed well away from the runout zone off the east side of Taiya- large cornices are still present at the ridgetrop. On the way down, we triggered multiple size 1 wet, loose avalanches on small, steep SE facing features. Top 6" sliding on unconsolidated wet snow base.
We had a mix of sun and clouds, with flurries/snow pellets at higher elevations and some rain lower down.
Snow coverage was OK at highway level. We were able to ski almost all the way out.
