Comments
Snow was windloaded on S aspects but not reactive in the trees or mellower inclines (ie upper bowl coming from Thar ridge). We skier triggered this avy on a very isolated small, steep slope in thinner snowpack. At the top of an open bowl feature and directly below cliffs on the South side of the Nak Summit.
