North and Northeast aspects above 3000 meters have a persistent deep slab risk.  Avalanches triggered will be large, destructive and contain the entire seasonal snowpack down to the ground.  As seen in last Thursday's incident in South Apherwat bowl, they are difficult to trigger and may occur on slopes already skied with numerous tracks.
