Conditions are fantastic above 2200 m on protected north aspects. Quite a bit of drifting snow into the Bell Couloir. We released some very small storm slabs while ascending the couloir, so did not proceed over the main convex bulge near the top. Taylor Lake trail is BARELY snow covered at the bottom, but quickly improves with about 100 m of elevation gain.
