Town to Trails: From Fear to Fearless @the_bronze Town to Trails: From Fear to Fearless

@the_bronze_chapter is offering a practical personal safety workshop for everyday life and the outdoors! The situation Denice shared above could have had serious consequences, thankfully her group was okay! It did lead to a larger conversation and a portion of the workshop where @adventuresofnik and @impact_matt will show us how to protect ourselves from inside a sleeping bag!

⭐️ Follow the link in bio to get signed up for the workshop! This year I’ll be attending and would be so excited to learn alongside you! 

⭐️ WE ARE FUNDRAISING TOO! Can’t attend but support the mission? Visit the pledge link in my bio to help us reach our $5k fundraiser goal! 

Do you want to learn how to protect yourself?

Do you recognize that understanding how to protect yourself is self care? 

Do you enjoy solo vacations, adventures and want to become more fearless? 

Then this workshop is for you, SEE YOU THERE 👋🏾

My snowboard journey 📝 Eternally grateful I start My snowboard journey 📝

Eternally grateful I started when I did, later in life than most - but perfectly imperfect. I would like to thank my sponsor, my husband of 11 years and counting. The patience this man has in unmatched. Thanks also to - @stevenspass @colourthetrails @whistlerblackcomb @epicpass and @edge_pnw for stoking my fire and making me feel welcome! 🔥🏂❄️

Cheers to many more winters ahead! 🤘🏾

Our latest school break with the family allowed for some side quests in search for peace and quiet - and then we stumbled on this herd of elk! Have you ever seen a herd in the wild before?

We live near a natural area where geese migrate in and out of in the seasons. We have been afforded the privilege of getting to watch them closely and study their habits. They are our neighbors, our kinfolk. We say “hello geese friends” when we see them flying overhead. Just recently, it’s progressed to what you hear in this video 🤍 

Connect your kids to the natural world, you will have zero regrets that you did! 

Also my youngest turned 3 this week, give him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY in the comments! 🎉🎂🥳

I hope you find your way outside today!

It is as good as they say it is @stevenspass 🌨️🤘🏾❄️

REPORT: powder days are the best days and I get it now BUT I hope this won’t spoil all other days. I was laughing, screeching, and saying “OH MY GOSH” with awe and wonder of a 7 year old girl. I also gained a new riding buddy in @farmerdel666. I continue to feel gratitude for this journey! So much gratitude. 🏂🫶🏾

Joy is my resistance - seeking it out everyday outside

Disclaimer: weather patterns are constantly shifting! Stay safe out there friends. Powder is not worth your life. Check out @wsdot @nwacus & @stevenspass for the best updates on safety and being open!
