Re: North Face skier Hilaree Nelson missing in Manaslu
Still no reports that she has been found. After 2 nights out at that altitude, and possibly in a crevasse/under avalanche debris, hope of survival is probably very slim. This is an awful tragedy.

They found and recovered her body. Several updates on instagram from Sherpa teams a few hours ago.

Re: North Face skier Hilaree Nelson missing in Manaslu
This seems to give the best description of what happen, thank you for posting this link.
Consecutive months with at least one 13er or 14er, 73 months
Re: North Face skier Hilaree Nelson missing in Manaslu
It seemed appropriate to share some of the stoke and light that she brought to this world. For those that haven't seen it, the short documentary of her first ski decent of Lhotse is well worth a watch.
What a staggering loss...
Hilaree was such an inspiring skier, and by all accounts, an amazing human being and mother.
RIP

So, from that report “ She was swept off her feet and carried down a narrow snow slope down the south side (opposite from climbing route)”
She skied down this side? This is the side the climbing route.

I was picturing her being caught in a small slide while traversing the Rolwaling diversion https://explorersweb.com/manaslu-crowd ... get-there/, but I think your interpretation of the story is more likely.
Very sad news, she was an inspirational skier.
