We sledded into the Tayia glacier area and then skied two run once there. One on the SE aspect on the glacier and one on the NE aspect of the ridge. There were some isolated wind slab pockets observed on the NE slope. Our first run on the SE glacier was soft and powdery making for great skiing. Our second run off the NE ridge was wind affected and crusty. The day was beautiful bluebird around -10 and sunny!
