Listen here: Download When we set ourselves up for success in life, we succeed. Having the right tools at our disposal is so important.

Backcountry Ski Series Pt 2: Alpine touring bindings and being a grown-up in the backcountry
If the right gear makes or breaks the day, why do so many of us not give much thought to the AT ski bindings? I tried boots on for months, going into shops whenever I was out of town. I demoed skis. I researched, talked to people, and when I got the boots and skis lined […]

The Hard Part of Ideas: Making Them Happen

Moving onward. and upward.
Very needless to say, it’s been a difficult, depressing month for the popular majority of the U.S. During our Saturday morning post-trail run coffee and croissants, my friends and I launched into lamentations over the situation. We described mornings we didn’t even want to get out of bed, waking up, realizing this isn’t a bad […]
