May 18th dropped a full-on snowstorm over the San May 18th dropped a full-on snowstorm over the San Juans! ❄️🌨️ Making the summit of Rolling Mountain (13,697 ft) in whiteout conditions a pretty wild time. Days like these remind me why I love ski mountaineering: overcoming challenges, pushing through, being unplugged, and feeling so tired that Monday at the office sounds really nice. @mouseschocolate for the reward 🐭 #SpringSkiing #SkiMountaineering #SanJuans #RollingMountain #13,697 #Colorado #Bicenntenial #Skithe13ers #Type2Fun #EarnYourTurns #Forskiers #Moose #Ptarmigan #lettheoutsideinside @stio @kastle_usa

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
