Was up at Emerald Lake recently. Things were looking pretty alpine up there.

The Southeast Face of Flattop from Emerald Lake. I have seen the Dragontails described as AI3M3? They should be rated 45degree snow, 3rd class in "normal conditions. Skied the right one yesterday with a 5' downclimb.

Dirk Bockelmann in the right "east" Dragontail in "Mixed conditions"- mostly sweet powder with a bit of hardpack where it had already sluffed in the last storm cycle.
