Fairly Easy skinning up to summit of thar early AM. a bit crusty, but ski crampons not quite needed. Some steeper sunny aspects had the top couple cm sliding off while skinning a mostly supportive the Melt-freeze crust. Top 5 cm softened nicely into good corn for the descent and a couple laps in the nak-thar bowl. Evidence of a fair amount of pinwheeling and loose wet avalanches on solar aspects from past few days, but nothing new, except Some minor loose wet sluffing under ski tracks on steep (35+ degree aspects) snow crusted up again pretty quickly when the sun went behind the clouds for the afternoon
