Charlotte Massey is Dismantling the Pant Patriarchy
Charlotte Massey, Georgia Grace, and Bianca Gonzalez are redesigning pants so they work for women’s bodies. It sounds silly that no one has addressed this issue before. Why not? Charlotte Massey joins today, and she’s going to walk us through a little fashion history, something we don’t often discuss here at the Gear Show. We’ll discover how three women in college have come together to solve a problem and take an essential step in making the outdoors more inclusive by making it easier for women to “go to the bathroom.”
Jeannine Anders | Mountain Biking as Panacea
Jeannine Anders followed “The Call” to Colorado 15 years ago where she settled in the Vail Valley. Many of us have heard a similar call – one to the mountains, right? She held a career in sales while pursuing her passion for cycling. She’s competed in over 20 ultra-endurance mountain bike races including multiple 100-mile, 12- and 25-hour solo races as well as a multi-day stage race through the Swiss Alps. She eventually joined the board for the non-profit, Sacred Cycle, while managing their race team and helping to spread their mission which is to empower survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault through therapy and mountain biking, creating a sacred cycle of recovery, personal development, and community impact.
Brian Harder One Year Post ACL Surgery
Today, Brian Harder, a self-proclaimed non-compliant patient will walk us through ACL recovery one year after the “event.” We’ll talk about the choices he made – like the graft choice and what he would do if he had it to do over again.
Brian is a frequent guest and a good friend of mine. He is an orthopedic physician assistant and a ski mountaineer based in Anchorage. He is also a former Exum Mountain Guide based out of Jackson.
Shannon Bahrke | Raising the Bar
I had a wonderful talk with Shannon Bahrke-Happe today about that, about professional racing, and life afterward. Shannon was on the US Ski Team for 12 years. During that time, she brought home a silver and a bronze medal. She also won the Overall World Cup title in 2003, had seven World Cup victories, 26 World Cup podiums and her list of wins goes on from there. She is a mom, founder of Team Empower Hour and the author of a children’s book Mommy Why Is Your Hair Pink?
The Search for Right and Wrong in Our Healthcare System
I wasn’t going to talk about this, and absolutely not here on this blog. My health is very personal. Certainly when it comes to the girl parts, right? We don’t want to talk about ovaries or menopause. I later learned Patrick, on a mission to try and fix the problem, as men do, was secretly watching YouTube videos at work on how to handle menopause in your partner. We are all in this together and we are all looking for answers.

Vasu Sojitra on Finding Normal in our Differences
