Did a "reverse tourer" and climbed up the fun couloir and skied down the gentle south. Couloir had signs of a big slide down at the bottom but felt very solid (under climber stress, not skier stress). Mix of deeper soft snow and harder crusty snow within. Some ice up near the top. Would ski great with a group prepared for the risk of such a steep slope (unfortunately we had to settle for a boring ski descent on the south side) 0 issues felt on that ski down nak bowl, snow felt largely great and super solid
