Back to blogging!

After a longer break than I expected, I am restarting my blog. I have even put a little more attention into my site this time! If you followed my Continental Divide Trail blog, I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to offer here too! I also hope you continue to read along as I grow this website!


A quick update on me: Right now I am working as a ski instructor and enjoy lots of time hiking and skiing in the snow. Besides AT touring, I was gifted a pair of skate skis to use for the season so I have been learning to skate ski too.

Mark and I are learning to winter camp, so we’ve spent a lot of time researching gear, and we’re excited to put ourselves to the test in the snowy backcountry. We have only gotten out a couple of times, and we have a lot more to learn moving forward.

Mark as we hiked out of our first night in the winter backcountry together. One clue that we have room to improve: this was the only photo I took that whole outing!

See my account of our second night our here.

Another skill I have been developing the past year is sewing. Mark found an amazing old Singer on craigslist (the sewing machine is older than either one of us), and it is a beast! it has made making gear feel so much more feasible!
