Walked up from Glacier chair, had a look into Spearhead glacier (pics) and then skied down to Decker Lake and back out East Col. No reactivity from bombs or skiers except for a #1 slide on Cham Chutes (pic) that looked like it was skier triggered from a rock weak point. No rap required to get into BC glacier. Snow was wind affected but generally skied OK with 10-30cm of powder on a wind crust.
