ECTN on the NW face of Thar by the saddle, as well as another ECTN on the steep SE face of Thar. Massive cornices were visible on Nak/Yak. We were wary, with the abundant crowns visible on all NE - SE aspects of Nak, but had no reactivity in our pits. We did trigger a small slab (2mx2m) lower down on the NW face of Thar on teh recent snow, but saw zero instability when we skied the steeper SE face of Thar. Excellent turns were had!
