Colorado | XC Skiing Eldora in Nederland
- When I came to Colorado and saw all the snow- I started researching Cross Country Ski trails right away.

I found a ski [...]
Colorado | Hiking Bear and Dream Lake in RMNP
- During my time in Estes Park, our friends Laura and Oakley told me how lucky I got with the snow and the weather.

Shelley Named 2016 Rangefinder 30 Rising Stars
- I remember when I first read the email. It was the day Hurricane Matthew moved into central North Carolina, I picked up a Wendy’s chili and a frosty, and watched the rain and wind while I ate in the truck. As usual, I started browsing through my phone, when a notification popped up with th [...]
