Old glide avalanches were in view for most of the tour out to Taylor Pass (on motorized side) and along Southside of Tincan/The Library.
Observation: Turnagain
Location: Taylor Pass/Pastoral
Toured out to Taylor Pass under blue skies and headed back to Pastoral- winds were the biggest factor after 2:00- we were observing significant snow transport on ridge tops and over the passes.
