| Itinerary: |

Taylor is one of my favourite trail runs. But the idea is to ski! It's a steep climb and tricky on the way down, especially if it's icy. It's ATES rating is "simple" and given the avalanche conditions, that's a good thing.
I'd like to do some snowpack analysis while we're out; maybe dig a pit, make some notes. Find a nice sunny spot for lunch. The idea is to have fun and play safe!
