One of the most common things I hear when I first meet people who follow me on social media is, "I thought you'd be taller." The truth is, I'm barely over five feet tall. I don't like to dwell on all the ways it can be a disadvantage. Instead, I like to think about how a lower center of gravity makes me more confident in steep terrain (especially on skis!). Today, I was in my element on Lady Macdonald, and the ridge walk did not disappoint. Good training for winter! #bigmtndreams Photo: @rob.lea
