03 — Off the clock

Usually somewhere with no cell service.

Hard hikes are my favorite. The effort makes reaching the top, and seeing how far I've come, more rewarding.

01

Hiking

The steeper the better.

I prefer trails that make you earn the view, with switchbacks, some scrambling, and a summit at the end.

02

Backpacking

Everything I need, on my back.

Multi-day trips reduce each day to hiking, eating, and setting up camp. I value the clarity that brings, and the way it forces me to prioritize what really matters.

03

Skiing

Progress I can measure.

Runs that challenged me last season are comfortable now. Seeing that progress is a large part of why I keep returning.
