It’s November, which means it is also National Novel Writing Month. This year, I’m breaking from my norm of fiction/fantasy, and writing about the Great Divide Trail. I have to say, it’s been really fun to revisit the trail in this way! . #nationalnovelwritingmonth #nanowrimo #instawrimo #nanowrimo2019 #throwbackthrusday #tbt #thruhikerthursday #GreatDivideTrail #GDT #wildestthruhike #hikingtheGDT #Canada #CanadianRockyMountains #LaCoulotteRidge #watertonnationalpark #ForYourMountain #LaSportivaNA #Julbo #JulboEyewear #hyperlitemountaingear #hmgtribe #choosemountainswomen #choosemountains #adventureculture #bralessadventures #mtnbabes #womenwhohike

Baby it’s cold outside! October 30th, it’s 4 °F out, blustery AF, and the season is off to a fantastic start! Lovelove lovin’ this weather ❄️ 🌬❄️ 🌬❄️ Keep it coming, Ullr! . #keepullrhappy #praiseullr #pinheadsfromhell #breezyAF #ski #skiing #humanpowered #humanpoweredadventures #amundsensports #willskiforchocolate #winterishere #asnes1922 #åsnes #alwayschooseadventure #womenwhoski #livewild #wildandfree #wildernessculture

I think I officially have the worst short term memory in the human existence. @nomadwolf360 wrote up our experience in Expedition Amundsen this past spring on altabackcountry.com (or link in bio), and I must admit, my first thought was ‘sounds great, let’s do it again!’ However, we have other adventure plans in the hopper, so no EXA for us this year. Interested? Go read Dan’s write up! 📸 @komelau . #expeditionamundsen #exa #xtremeidfjord #ski #pulk #hardangervidda #humanpowered #humanpoweredadventures #amundsensports #willskiforchocolate #asnes1922 #åsnes #alwayschooseadventures #takemoreadventures #amongthewild #wildandfree #livewild #pinheadsfromhell #makenordicskiingyoungagain #wildernessculture

Thanks @rosefiler for the challenge! All too often, and I notice this a lot, instead of banding together, women become competitive with each other. And don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with a little healthy competition (I’m looking at all my sisters growing up)! But when it reaches a point of catty negativity, we’re simply bringing us all down. I just want to shout out to all the amazingly strong ladies in my life - thanks for being such wonderful badasses! Everyone I tagged (and more, if you like!) share a photo of just you, appreciate what a badass you are! And tag others ; encourage them to do the same 💪 . #strongertogether #womenempowerment #womenwhokickass #badasswomen #choosemountainswomen #coloradowomen #womenunite #holdeachotherup @lilafiler @just_keep_climbing_ @mariah.j.c @jenyuphoto @jenholtzman @piaamber @a_running_stone @alyssf @tangertots @alisonfesta @marca_hagenstad @l_bellian @beddy_17 @elainebrazilnut @jenn.simon @deloutey @danielle_ate_the_pita @jessi_luwho

Honestly pretty stoked about the start of this new ski season! Only hit a few rocks (lightly!) and after weeks of the wind ripping around up here, it was nice to have a day with just some gentle blasts. Coming back, ran into a situation involving a heavy trailer loaded down with steel bars, and met what felt like most of the crew at Hendricks’ mine - thanks Frank for one of the few photos of us! . #ski #skiing #snow #welcomewinter #earnyourturns #burningquads #thestokeneverdies #amundsensports #uphill #willskiforchocolate #winterishere#hyperlitemountaingear #hmgtribe #humanpoweredadventures

So it was a bit breezy up there today! But sometimes it feels good to get blown around a bit

Guys! #youvegotsnow Always love this first dusting, with the remnants of the leaves on the trees, and the fresh taste of the winter to come in the air 🍂 ❄️ 🍁 ❄️ Woke up to 18 degrees, it’s now 14, and more fluffy flakes on the way! Happy dance 💃 . #snow #firstsnow #welcomewinter #winterishere #thestokeneverdies #amundsensports

I grew up just a stone’s toss away from the Continental Divide, and have now spent the better part of two summers hiking along it. It seems strange to say that a land mass feels like home, but the Continental Divide truly feels like home. To be able walk up to it from my home is pretty dang special, to see it in all its ever changing glory an honor. This one’s for you, Continental Divide, and thanks for being such a wonderful friend and companion, even though you push my limits a lot! . #continentaldivide #alpine #rockymountains #coloradorockymountains #rockymountainhigh #damncolorado #autumn #fall #winteriscoming #foryourmountain #lasportivana #julbo #julboeyewear #hyperlitemountaingear #hmgtribe #choosemountains #choosemountainswomen #gogetit #livebig #dreambig

New blogpost up on altabackcountry.com, or link in bio: wrote up a review for the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor, which has been a fantastic companion over many miles for me. Cheers 🍻 to all the good times in them, and here’s to many more! . #lasportiva #lasportivana #foryourmountain #lasportivaultraraptor #ultraraptor #hike #hiking #womenwhohike #likeagirl #womenempowerment #getoutandhike #goforahike #takeahike

Day 20 skiing of the season ending on a near full moon night in Happy Valley. Building fitness and biding time until winter starts in earnest. 🏔🌲🌕#skiing #ski #getoutside #getoutstayout #mountainlife #mountains #nightski #fullmoon #autumn

Skiing home as the sunset and incoming fog dance in the valley below. Day 16 of the season so far. Big adventures are our passion, but the daily excursion close to home is even more important. Use it or lose it as they say. We’ve always dreamed about having a 200 day season while still working full-time. That’d be a lot of chances to see a lot of beauty. Maybe this is the year. One day at a time and have the most fun possible. And stock up on as much Celestial Seasoning’s Morning Thunder black tea as possible for the groggy days! ❄️🏔🎿#skiing #ski #backcountryskiing #getoutside #getoutstayout #sunset #mountains #livesimply #amundsensports #hmgtribe

High pressure systems provide a perfect time to get to work. Clearing deadfall, opening up narrow tree lines and creating a world of winter diversion for the inevitable snows to come. ❄️🎿❄️#skiing #ski #amundsensports #julbo #getoutside #getoutstayout #winter #saw #nordicpocketsaw @elainevardamis

Hanging out with the ghosts and goblins on a Halloween night, Happy Valley ski with @elainevardamis 🎿🧟‍♂️💫#Halloween #happyhalloween #ski #skiing #getoutside #getoutstayout #amundsensports #åsnes #winter #bestoctoberever

Some days you nail the wax and some days, like today, you do not. 5 degrees and snow as light and sharp edged as it gets falling, combined with a rock ski base that really needs retiring, and it was more of a sandpaper slow hip wiggling day than normal. Still awesome to bop around Little Siberia as the deepest October in northern Colorado Rockies history continues to deliver! It’s dropping down to ten below tonight...wood stove and adventure book kind of evening. ❄️🎿🏔#skiing🎿 #ski #winter #skioctober #rockymountains #amundsensports #hyperlitemountaingear #hmgtribe #getoutside #getoutstayout #backcountryskiing #icelantic #brynjeofnorway #julbo @elainevardamis

Good morning! ❄️🎿🏔 #skiing #ski #winterishere #getoutside #getoutstayout #powder #octoberskiing #hyperlitemountaingear #hmgtribe #mountains #wilderness

Glorious afternoon searching for turns and finding them. ❄️🏔🎿#skiing #ski #winterishere #getoutside #getoutstayout #powder #amundsensports #octoberskiing #hyperlitemountaingear #hmgtribe #julbo #mountains #wilderness

Used day three of the season to explore the old mining roads and cabins, clear deadfall and pack down a base on Ghost Mountain. High winds means conditions are variable: zero inches deep in the open, two feet on the leeward side in the dense forest.🏔❄️🎿#skiing #ski #skiuphill #getoutside #getoutstayout #winter #pokinaround

Four inches of snow and lots of wind last night. Perfect for taking out the rock skis and working on that uphill fitness. First day of the 2019-20 ski season. Here’s to the greatest winter yet! ❄️🏔🌲#skiing #ski #uphill #skinning #getoutside #getoutstayout #winterishere #snow #winter #julbo #hyperlitemountaingear @elainevardamis
