The Horse Trail (North side) and the Alluvial Fan are in fantastic shape and if you go soon you’ll see these fresh tracks by the back bench. The South-East side of Emerald is a bit crunchy and fast from the mild weather and tree bombs. The Connector has some crunchy sections also—mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with soft beautiful snow sections. So it is fast and hard for quite a bit. The “disconnector” section is perfectly ski set…..though your poles poke through. Best to wait till it gets groomed again with the cooler weather or another snow fall. Sure enjoying the SUN! for a change.
