Looking forward to presenting on adventure, mountains, skiing and life in the San Juans this Wednesday March 20th at the Powerhouse Science Center in Durango. This is the 4th Annual Women Outside Adventure Forum hosted by Backcountry Experience. All proceeds from this years event benefit the San Juan Citizens Alliance. Hope to see you there!!
I had the good fortune to spend the last few days at Taos Ski Valley shredding the powder and the wind buff with Hadley Hammer. Taos was the first place, at 19 years old, that I spent a winter as a ski bum. I worked at Kinder Kare at the ski school and skied hard with my friends every possible minute. I credit the steep tree skiing, gnarly chutes and big hearted locals for launching me into a lifetime of mountain adventuring.
...
Recently Taos became the first ski resort to be a B-Corp certified corporation. I hope they lead the way for other resorts to follow. It exemplifies their commitment to social and environmental sustainability. It shows transparency to the consumer and lets us speak with our dollars by supporting those businesses that are equating profit and bottom line with environmental conscience.

It was awesome to come back here after so many years and see that while not much has changed, everything has gotten a little bit sweeter.

Glad you got to poke around the hill in the sweet conditions!
I miss Taos, some very funny memories there with you,looks fun
There's something special about Taos.
I used to work in the cafeteria. I think it was called Katie's kitchen. It was in the early 90s. Gawd I miss that town!
Hilaree, It was great seeing you there. The SKI Test team was STOKED to be in Taos. It was so much fun for me to see so many old friends still doing what they love there.
It was a pleasure having you come back to visit. Obviously you're welcome back any time. Keep up the great work!
Made that hike many a time. Greatness!
So good! Wish I could’ve joined you all.
FYI, I've never skied east of the rockies so I am heavily biased in my choices! Hope everyone is enjoying the abundant snowfall this winter. So far, I've skied all of these resorts this winter with the exception of Stevens and Jackson but winter isn't over yet:)

Here's where the pioneering skier sends it when she's not shredding the backcountry
Try Wolf Creek!
Happy and Safe Skiing!
CB is pretty awesome too. And if you prefer backcountry, Irwin is right down the road.
Bring the family to Mammoth Mountain. It's got the most snow in the country right now. I'm gonna bring my kids there for spring skiing. My girls would love to see you again as they were star stuck when then got to meet you back stage at the Gallo in Modesto
👍❄️
Last week in Telluride I found myself finding my edge both literally and metaphorically on a ski descent that has always equally intrigued me and scared the daylights out of me. If nothing else, this little valley of #bearcreek captures my imagination and even after 15 years of exploring here, I am always amazed by both the creeks beauty and it’s ferocity.

I know the Oscars were a few days ago but it’s so not old news yet!!! Huge congratulations 🎊🍾 to Alex Honnold Jimmy Chin @jimhurst @chaivasarhelyi Sanni McCandless Coaching for creating an epic film in Free Solo Film that showcases an unimaginable feat that has created a new threshold for human limits. #neverstopexploring. Weaving this with a personal story and vulnerability that is unique and deserving of Best Documentary. Plus it’s just pretty cool to see friends on stage at the Academy Awards, holding onto an Oscar and all dressed up. #climbingbums #lookinggood

Sign the petition to protect caribou and polar bears in the Arctic Refuge from oil drilling.
No amount of oil is worth the destruction of the sacred places we have left.
Waw nice
Done. Small step to tackle a big problem, and there’s a tough fight ahead.
Today was my first foray back into the big and scary ⛷ lines since #lhotseski2018. I definitely needed a break but today was a good push to get me over the hump. It was 🌶 trying to keep up with @davidlama_official @mikeyarno @jimwmorrison @christianpondella . Good peeps, good snow, lots of consequence 😳 and tired lungs.
