Not very deep, but figured it was worth a look 🏔️⛷️☀️❄️🙏 and always worth it to get out with friends. #alwaysgo #backcountryskiing #elkmountains #skitouring @kastle_usa #forskiers
Two guys, just happy to be here 😁 We had nothin Two guys, just happy to be here 😁 We had nothing to prove, only to reaffirm that we still love lining up for a race 🏁 and that after terrible recent injuries (Neal), and a couple of replaced joints (me), we could still put on a race bib, head out on a course, and cross a finish line with big smiles, feeling good about it all. 🏆 🙏 😁 🤘🏼 What’s next @nealbeidleman? #grateful

So simple yet so 👌 So simple yet so 👌
Sometimes timing is everything… as we topped out Sometimes timing is everything… as we topped out on Tarija Peak 🏔️ we knew instantly how special it was to be there at that fleeting moment in time— as the sun crested the horizon 🌄with the low clouds over the Amazon rainforest to the east, and our summit objective, Pequeno Alpamayo framing the background. Any earlier or later, and it could have been missed. It wasn’t our plan to be at that spot at that moment, it just worked out that way. Happy to see our friends at @stio thought it was worthy of a two-page spread in their recent “Deep Winter 2025” catalog! 🙏😁 #alwaysgo #bolivia #mountainclimbing #cordillerareal #andes #sunrise #lettheoutsidein @boliviadiscovery @delia_pari_ @aspenchristy

What a journey - over a lot of years! One thing re What a journey - over a lot of years! One thing remains consistent @tedmahon and #alwaysgo 🏃‍♀️❤️🙏 Back in the day, we had no idea what the Six Star Medal even was, but Chicago, Boston, NYC, Berlin, (and others) - seemed like cool places and courses to check out. Then throw in the discovery of trail running and ultramarathons, and it would take a little while to get back to New York again, London, and Tokyo. Feeling grateful for the opportunity to experience all six World Marathon Majors with so many friends and family along the way 💞So much support, laughter, challenges, and inspiration 🙏 And just what I needed right now, people from all over the world 🌍 coming together for one goal and to do their best, showing kindness, encouragement, and resilience at every step. 🙏🏃‍♀️⭐️✔️❤️ #SixStars #goals #WorldMarathonMajors #Grateful #runningcommunity @wmmajors #tokyo #London #NYC #Berlin #chicago #Boston #20thmarathon #25yearsinthemaking

Rainy morning Tokyo run ☔️ Feeling the divine Rainy morning Tokyo run ☔️ Feeling the divine power of these trees 🌳 and the gratitude toward the deities honored at the Meiji Jingu Shrine. Big Barrels of sake and incredible burgundy. Joined the busiest crosswalk in the world and had our best dinner of the trip at Kaikaya by the Sea. Most importantly, caught up with our good friend and artist @yutakasone! ✨🐱✨ Returning to Tokyo in a few weeks for the Tokyo Marathon 🇯🇵🛖- staying the Asakusa neighborhood is anyone as any tips!
A rare sun ☀️ weather window in Hokkaido follo A rare sun ☀️ weather window in Hokkaido followed by a few days of traditional Japow ❄️allowed us to have such a unique trip for three summit loving, grateful pow skiers from Colorado! We were able to summit Mount Yotei, Iwaonupuri (NE Couloir), Shirebetsu, Weisshorn, and Shirakaba-yama. Some with blue skies and incredible views, some with amazing soft powder. Most were followed by traditional onsen experiences off the beaten path, and a nightly adventure sampling the local food in Kutchan. Managed a couple fun on piste days as well. Not your typical Japan weather but worked out perfect for us! We’ll be back! ⛷️☀️🇯🇵🌋🍲 🛖 ❄️#hokkiado #alwaysgo #japantan #japow #whatevertheweather #lettheputsidein #forskiers @stio @kastle_usa @tedmahon

One way to shake off some jet leg and get incredible views of the Sea of Japan, Lake Toya, Rusutsu, and the countryside. Followed up with a soak in a local onsen and fresh Hokkaido sushi. 👍🏾 🍣 🏔️ 💦 ⛷️ ❄️ 🇯🇵 @tedmahon @stio @kastle_usa #skijapan #VolcanicBeauty#EzoFuji #oldhokkaido
Our mountain community feels immense gratitude for Our mountain community feels immense gratitude for the snow and cold temperatures this weekend, but our hearts are heavy and with our friends in LA who are facing devastating wildfires. 💔🔥 As we enjoy the beauty of winter, it is not lost on us that the effects of climate will also have devastating consequences on our mountain communities. Sending love, strength, and support to those affected and to the firefighters and first responders working so hard to protect communities. @stio @kastle_usa #CommunityStrong #WildfireRelief #LAWildfires #MountainLove #Letsadressclimate

It’s hard to slow down during this time between the winter solstice and New Year, especially in a resort town, but trying to make space for moments like these.
