Emma Russell

Guide

Emma is originally from California and comes to AMS from Oregon. Her love of backcountry skiing and mountaineering began after working a season in Alta, UT and it has been uphill (and then downhill) ever since. She has pursued skiing and climbing in Canada, Japan, Utah, California, Alaska, and across the Pacific Northwest. In her free time, you can find her poring over maps to plan ski mountaineering objectives, doing pottery, sewing ski packs, and mountain biking.
