Emeralds/Bowman Valley conditions
|
Does anybody know if the area is climbable or is there already enough snow to make it impossible/a hassle? |
|
Bowman or Emeralds/benches? |
|
Either, but I assume Emeralds? |
|
There are only a couple of inches of snow in Truckee so I assume the Emeralds is fine, given that it's a fair bit lower in elevation. That said I haven't been there since before this last storm. |
|
Has anyone been out to Emeralds yet this year? I80 webcam shows a good bit of snow at emigrant gap exit and wondering if worth trying to post hole out there. |

Any update on snow, climbing here yet? Heading up to area in next few weeks. Would like to get some climbs in if permits. |

Nathan, thanks for info. |
|
Emeralds is good to go |
|
Thanks for update. |
|
Bowman Lake Rd? |
|
Didn't go past the Emeralds but would guess that the road is not open to Bowman? I think the high point on that road is around 6000', still snow at that elevation elsewhere |
|
How are the conditions at Emeralds after last week's snow? Forest Service snow map seems to indicate it's good to go, but wanted to double check. |

|
Has anyone attempted Bowman since the snowfall last weekend? |
