Trip Report: 13,118′ Mt. Emerson – The 45º Steep “North Couloir”

Report from May 23, 2023 The sweet smell of sagebrush, following a deer track for a mile, vertical mountains that felt like they could fall down on me, raging rivers, pungent ponderosa odor, firm snow, corn snow, isothermic snow, cactus, mule deer, marmots, grasshoppers, and sore knees.

Report from May 18, 2023 Brought to you by Mono County Tourism Chasing Connery Lundin down “Wineglass Couloir” yesterday was a blast! Yesterday, we went for a fun chute after scaring ourselves a bit on Tuesday’s very steep “Pete’s Dream.” Wineglass Couloir is 2,800 vertical feet!
