Winter Ascent of Yak Peak?

[joewtc]

Does anyone have any beta on a winter ascent (and the avalanche situations from the top) of Yak Peak? Thanks.

I'm not sure about beta, but I've climbed Yak in summer, and I've been ski touring up the Coquihalla many times, and from looking out across the valley, I can tell you that all those slabs up there, especially on Yak, slide out very quickly after a snowfall.

I don't know exactly if that's good or bad, but I strongly suspect danger.

Deadly, unless it hadn't snowed for a while...

Have you gotten out there JOE?

No I didn't climb it in the winter after reading about the possibilities of avalanches from the top.
