A few pics from the end of March as I reflect on this awesome winter we were blessed with. 31 hiking days, 17 skiing days, and 35(!) climbing days between December and March. (Not including a few bonus ones in November!) Eternally grateful for the work, and for the clients and friends I was able to share these outdoor adventures with β€” you make even the less-than-ideal days fun! β„οΈπŸ”οΈπŸ§Šβ›·οΈ

I’ll be happy to see the snow fly again next winter, but now I’m ready for pulling on rock, moving fast in the mountains, sleeping in tents, and gliding a paddle through water. πŸ§—πŸ₯ΎπŸ•οΈπŸ›Ά
