Emerald lake slide path

Current most used skin track is right up the middle of the skiers left gully than many kick turns right up the centre of the main at the top. Worked our way up through the trees on the skiers left and then cut across to gain the ridge between the two lower run out zones. Our way up this ridge sucks so maybe try gaining lower down if you’re trying to avoid walking straight up the middle of the run out zone. Once we got to where the Lower run out zones split we hugged left in the trees and broke trail to the top. Our track gets a little close to the run out of the skiers right start zone which looks like it’s building a solid wind slab right now. Use our track with caution but the other track goes right up the center of the main path with a lot of kick turns. Stopped just below the saddle and the skiing is good boot top pow there. Be carful on the way down as it gets thin and lots of sharks lurking. Light to moderate wind gusts and periods of S-1. Temps were holding steady around -5 and dropped to -8 at where we stopped.
