Comments
Emerald skied well today with 20-30cm of storm snow on supportive wind slab. No wind effect at all, but we did get a few big settlements on the steep slopes/ridge 20m below the summit so pulled the skins early and enjoyed several fast boot top laps in the upper bowl. Breakable Solar crust below 1950m but the entire path skied very well all the way until the crust firmed up at 1700m. No wind. A few size 1-2 slides off steep rocky terrain notes from earlier in the week.
