High temps today were evident, surface snow up to 2 Celsius. Heavy on skis. Dug a pit at 1600m. HS 115cm. Results were CTH4 down 35. ECT did not propagate, but still failed CTH3 down 35. Both failures RP. Skiing was decent, skied the open trees to skiiers right of main descent/gully. Far less tracks than main descent. Lots of parties going up emerald.
