Anyone know the conditions on the Northwest ridge route on Missouri and perhaps the other two peaks in the area? Or have any pictures of recent conditions? Thanks!

Re: Missouri Mt, Emerald, and Iowa Conditions?
Went over Elkhead Pass last Sat (6/15). We got Emerald and Iowa and it was mostly frozen due to our early arrival and departure. Some mud and snow but not bad. Good mellow snow off Iowa for a speedy descent back into the basin below Mizzou.

What the hell were you doing over there?! Tell me you had the board and weren't just hiking...XC Snowboarder wrote:Went over Elkhead Pass last Sat (6/15).

Re: Missouri Mt, Emerald, and Iowa Conditions?
It was a training day and I definitely missed the board descent having just rode out of the basin after hitting the Ford sisters. Carl and I rode/skied the tuning fork last Sun as a final send off to the season.
