Skied from the top of Emerald Lake slide path, very good skiing above 2000m with snow becoming heavy below but still skiable. Most of the cornices had fallen down probably 1-2 weeks ago with no evidence of slab avalanches which increased confidence. Some minor cracking while cresting the ridge in the direct lee.
