hiking

I strapped my skis on… finally!

I finally came to my senses and joined CU’s Hiking Club. Two days later I went on my first trip: A snowshoe/ ski trip.

So it wasn’t Norway– there weren’t crazy cakes, banana dances, and copious amounts of bread– but there was some avalanche talk. Although he wasn’t quite as snow-obsessed as Janie Therese, Joe, the trip leader, was very knowledgable about avalanche safety. I met some cool people, and hopefully I will go on more trips with the club. After all, I have lots of survival tips and stories that are worth sharing! (Like this story of suffering and survival… AK1 WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER.)

Seeing Things Through a Different Lens… Photos from Janie Therese

Unfortunately I inherited my mom’s memory (or should I say, ‘lack of’ memory.) I often find myself remembering things based solely on the photos I capture. This isn’t a horrible thing– however, sometimes I seem to forget moments I didn’t capture. Janie Therese recently shared all of her photos from the year with me. It was great to look through and remember moments from past trips that I had seemingly forgotten. So here is a hodgepodge of photos from various trips, all taken by Janie. Enjoy!
