Located two bowls north of Scott Hill, No No Name doesn't see much traffic. The 42° I measured was on the skier's-right
side of the bowl. As you can see in the photo, there's a small cliff band on the skier's-left side. (If you zoom in on the photo
you'll see my tentative ski tracks during a wet avalanche cycle.)
If you ski No No Name Bowl and you can get a picture of the Monitors (which are west of No No Name) with minimal trees obstructing the view, please send it to me. Thank you!
