Skied to Emerald Peak via the slide path today. Hard melt-freeze crust up till roughly 2250m made for fast travel, and then a mix of crusts and powder to the summit. Ski quality was bad except in the upper bowl. By the time we returned to ~1500m, the lower crust had melted, and temps at the car were above 0.
