Wew survived the first day of the season. Visibility was low, snowpack thin but the stoke was high! Thankful I had my buddies tracks to follow; the snow was pretty sticky and a legit reminder why you should wax your board. This storm is only half way over. Too early to call total snowfalls but possibly around 3ft/1m+. We're going to have water next year!

Looking back & reflecting on some photos of me taken this past year. Im a bit shy and also a privacy advocate so I don't like posting selfies. This past year helped me realize though to make a bigger impact and be more effective at helping more people; one needs to be willing to share themselves. I may explore that further. Feeling we can all do more big things, with less money, by being more efficient with using better technology tools. That philosophy has been influenced quite a bit this past year sharing this online space with you. Thank you for inspiring me. 

Tomorrow is the start of my winter season! Excited to step into some new big adventures and learn more good things to share. 

Did the annual pilgrimage up South Sister and what a beautiful day it turned out to be! People often say after climbing South Sister, "we should've left an hour earlier." Lesson learned after a long beat down from the sun. Truly a great time to be outside, took so many great photos & lots more to share. Here are a few moments from earlier today. #MountainMonday #mountains #southsister #oregon #cascades #snowboarding #splitboarding #cascadia #volcano #photography #outdoors #beauty #turnsallyear
