Breaking Trail

An exploration of outdoor adventure as a metaphor for life. Every other week, we talk to players in the outdoor and nonprofit world; in land conservation, recreation, and education to uncover stories that make the world a better place.

Rather than prescription, these stories serve as lessons and inspiration. Past guests have won Olympic Gold (Kikkan Randall), are empowering survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault through therapy and mountain biking (Jeannine Anders), and make adaptive sports accessible to the backcountry (Vasu Sojitra).

This show is for those who prefer to define your own idea of success and break trail to get there.

April 5, 2018 by Lisa Gerber Leave a Comment

Liam Fitzgerald’s former job sets the bar for stressful jobs.  As the lead avalanche forecaster for the Utah Department of Transportation (and the Little Cottonwood Canyon Highway – you know, the road that leads up to Alta and Snowbird), every day, he decided whether it was safe enough for the public to drive up or […]

We all have these turning points in life where one small decision unknowingly leads to another and your path diverges from the one you had envisioned. Then, there are moments, shall we call them epiphanies? When you realize that turning point was in fact, a turning point. And that it was meant to be. Ashley […]

Chasing Dreams And Taking the Scenic Route to Get There

March 24, 2018 by Lisa Gerber Leave a Comment

Some of you knew what you wanted to do with your life at a young age while others of us (me included) sort of wandered into it. I’ve always been envious of the people who took the straight line from A and B but as I get older, I realize there is something to be […]

Dan Fogarty on Travel and Life: Less Overthinking, More Serendipity

December 2, 2017 by Lisa Gerber Leave a Comment

What I love about Dan’s travel blog is that he’s not really a “travel blogger.” He’s a brand consultant with a travel problem; a problem we should all wish to have. “Cool places. Good food. Nice sheets” is his tagline. Because he travels so much for work, and now for pleasure as well, he has […]

November 26, 2017 by Lisa Gerber Leave a Comment

Who wants to dream with me of skiing in faraway places? I have a long conversation with Tracey Creedon, an Australian-born ski guide based in Hokkaido, Japan and New Zealand. And Australia depending on the time of year. Tracey is a soul sister, so to speak, who loves snow as much, if not more, than […]
