Vermonters Brian Mohr and Emily Johnson have spent well over 1000 nights in a tent together. Having shaped their lives and work around human-powered forays through remote corners of the northeast US/Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Central America and the southern Andes, they thrive on the tremendous variety of snow, water and weather conditions defining these regions. They strongly believe that true adventure comes from within. They share their award-winning photography and their stories through numerous publications and with outdoor brands worldwide, their own series of slideshows, and their Northeast skiing websites, EmberPhoto.com and AdventureSkier.com.
