On tuesday I snowshoed up to the tooth to check it out. I aproached from the side and ended up directly across the bowl at 5000. I had binos and there looked to be no ice at all on the ne slab.
The finger of snow that reaches up to the slab wasn't reaching very high. Or at least it looked that way to me. (first time I've been up there in the winter)
Yesterday I went back to tr some ice on the left side of the valley about 30 or so minutes up from the parking lot. While we were there some climbers were coming down. They said there was absolutely nothing on the ne slab and did the south face instead.
Don't no anything about chair peak, but an assumption would be similar conditions.
Hope this helps,
