I got my first turns of the season while I was in Tahoe for the @winterwildlandsalliance grassroots advocacy conference! I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect with other athletes and activists who have done so much to preserve the human-powered backcountry experience. It motivates and excites me for the advocacy work ahead, and it’s a good reminder that “democracy is not a spectator sport, it’s a participatory event.” We have to keep speaking up and keep showing up! I have to give a shoutout to the other athletes @brodyleven @forrestshearer @jeremyjones @clare_gallagher_runs and @thomaswoodson who attended and spoke on a panel with me! And also to my sponsors who support and encourage my work as an environmental activist! @patagonia @clifbar @keen @rei @julbousa @lekiusa @prethelmets @movementskis
