Skied Aemmer couloir on Temple; was quite nice in areas without wind effect. Was pretty tough from the apron to about 100 meters in. Mixed sastrugi and windboard. Above that it slowly transistioned to powder on a solid surface before turning to facets to the ground near the top. Skied well for this time of year, but too unpredictable to open up.
