Emerald

Despite the cold spell there is lots of solar effect, particularly treeline and below snow was quite heavy, suspect it's getting about time to wait for a refresh before taking it on. A couple thin spots in the alpine so take note on your way up before dropping in. Inversion made for pleasant temps, sometimes almost too warm. Good stability all around, some wind effect and minor windslabs in expected alpine locations but nothing horrid or noteworthy. For the bottom third, skier's left gully looked really skied out, the skier's right was really heavy snow and not deep enough to have many open lanes (first time there so don't have a baseline reference).
