The joy of human-powered skiing. There's something so gratifying when you reach the top of a peak that you've climbed up yourself. I've always been curious about what's around the next corner, but cautious about how I approach the backcountry. It's taken me over a decade of learning about snow safety and avalanches to get to the point I'm at. Everyday is another opportunity to observe and learn, walking quietly through the mountains, to deepen my love affair with snow. #bigmtndreams #humanpower Photo: @rob.lea
