Description

Off the top of the Emigrant chair, turn left and follow the ridge line south past the low point of the saddle and traverse right of Emigrant Peak.

Keep your altitude on the traverse behind Emigrant Peak.

Most people take their skis off and boot pack the last section which takes about 5 minutes.

Angle up and to the right until you get to the top.

You can drop in anywhere along the ridge line.

The first spot is a steep small bowl where your can make turns or continue on to the south for more exposure and more rocks.

This area is short and steep and ends on a nice steep pitch below the rocks where you can scrub off speed.

You will be near the top of Gold Coast Express when you finish.
