Bluebird day up at Thar. The skin up bordering the Nak bowl, especially skirting the terrain trap at the flat midsection, was windy. There was evidence of size 1 wind slab avalanches on sunny SE aspects in the Nak bowl, though nothing that we saw on the more straight-south or straight-east aspects of Thar. Sheltered areas were filled out with deep fluffy powder, and even towards the bottom pre-evaluated cliff drops were sent without hitting rocks. Anything too open was wind affected, still good riding but harder to get around.
