I’ve taken a little hiatus from Instagram the last couple of weeks. I think I was waiting for it snow so I could post about skiing. Well, it didn’t ❄️ so for Thanksgiving @jimwmorrison put his rapid plan alternative in action and I found myself learning how to sail in the tropics. Pretty damn good alternative.
.
I’m back in Telluride now and back to 🙏 for snow again but it still feels like September. I’m so grateful for the few days away and the change of scenery and for sleeping on the ocean. Now I’m really ready for some ⛷:)

Excellent! Love see all of your adventures! My girls STILL talk about how awesome it was they got to met you into person at one of your documentary film showings.
Let me get this straight. There’s no snow in Colorado, so you fly to the BVIs for a weekend of sailing, and then #protectourwinters? Come on. Did you at least buy some carbon credits?
Good move…..Hoping you all get some snow as my son Tim is ready to ski there in Telluride too ❄️
If you can’t ski, sailing is a good alternative.
Maybe a good year to hang out in Canada 🇨🇦 🤷♂️…. Just saying…
Kids are MISERABLE here in Reno!! They always ski on Nevada Day (halloween) and this year…its 60 degrees. Praying along with you
Check out this new film from Mad Trees and The with amazing friends Ingrid and Leanne Pelosi and Vasu and Emile Zynobia and more. 35 minutes. It's so good- great winter action combined with unique points of view and meaningful storytelling. Dont miss it!!
Thanks Hil!!!
Loved this. Much more than just hucking yourself off of a cliff. More female content please!!!
Thanks for sharing!!
October in Telluride brought lots of ❄️ and cold weather but November is more ☀️ and a lot less precipitation. I fear we could be getting setup for a pervasive weak layer again this season. I’m 🤞that’s not the case. What’s the best way to keep track of our Colorado snowpack??

Read the @friendsofcaic avy forecast EVERY time you head into the mountains. I do that, my ski partner does that, and then we Discuss the forecast and combine that knowledge with our personal observations to determine what we will tackle that day.

Join me in taking the forecast pledge this winter. See link in my bio! Stay informed and stay safe this winter!

@coavalancheinfo
Probably a bit early for a prediction but certainly need to aware of snow conditions as people begin to partake of the splendor of the mountains.
Yes!
YouTube has the Forrest service out there on almost all avalanches during the winter.
Hold me!!
Same here in the Tetons. Be careful out there.

Fun read from long-time ESPN writer (and awesome off-road car driver) Alyssa Roenigk about Lindsey and our Land Trek back in September.
My rocky, muddy, super-competitive 24 hours with Olympic legend Lindsey Vonn

Great story!! Great competition!!
Wow! Sounded so fun!
Baddest ass women on the planet!!! Soo proud !!!!
The first expedition I ever organized was to a faraway remote group of mountains in western Mongolia- the Five Holy Peaks. The trip was inspired by @kashalaclare, there were four of us, all women, no sat phones or communication with the outside world. We made first ski descents on all five peaks with no maps, no weather reports and zero climbing beta. We were truly on our own. I learned so much from my partners and, for the first time, discovered how hard I could push myself.
.
My main jacket for this entire trip was the brightest yellow jacket I’d ever seen in my life. I absolutely loved it. Putting it on every morning made me smile because it was bright and cheerful and badass. It was my coat of armor that helped me literally and figuratively weather the storm.

I gotta get over there. Saw some of the videos. Super awesome
You are welcome here anytime 🙂
That’s a bucket list adventure.
... But why wouldn't you have a map?🤔🤔
Awesome.
White fluffy dog pre-hike, muddy mess post-hike. ❤️ the cold, wet weather these last few days.
.
Is that the same dog??? 🤣
Yay Wilson!!!!!!
Wow!!! He had fun. ❤️
What breed?
Today was the most incredible day for fall colors. @jimwmorrison and I rode a real crusher ride. My original intent was to ride hard and test my new @corosglobal #vertix2 watch but we had to keep stopping to take photos and soak up the fall ☀️. The scenery was a good distraction from the PAIN 😂! Thankfully my new watch didn’t mind the stops and worked amazingly well!!

Was just thru T-ride on Sunday on a moto trip. WOW!!!! Full on amazing colors this year!!!
I love South West Colorado! Growing up in the North East, its the closest I can get to the colors.
Spectacular
Beautiful!
