Being on a ski trip doesn’t mean you can neglect your oral hygiene. It can be easy to forget about brushing properly when your priorities are elsewhere and you’re focused on getting out the door and on to the mountain. ⁣⁣That’s why I am so excited about the new @OralB GENIUS X to use every day and on my ski trips and expeditions. It comes with a travel case that charges both the brush and a USB device. The AI technology recognizes brushing patterns to offer personalized feedback on the areas that require additional attention, so you can brush in the best way to improve your oral-health. It also helps you brush for the right amount of time, with the right amount of pressure, in the right areas of your mouth.⁣⁣This holiday season, consider giving the gift of oral-hygiene via the link in my stories. You can also grab this awesome new brush on sale now ahead of the holidays!⁣⁣#OralBHolidayDeals #RoundCleansBetter⁣ #ad

I’ve been extremely fortunate that my skiing and climbing has taken me all over the world, opening my mind and my heart up to new people, places and perspectives I otherwise might not have experienced. It’s what truly makes me come alive. It’s instilled in me a fierce desire to not only protect these places where I play, but this planet that’s home to all of us.It also comes with guilt. Guilt associated with the footprint my travels have that are unfortunately a consequence of doing what I love.It’s no secret we live in an imperfect society and I, as is everyone, am an imperfect human. I am part of the problem. But I am also part of the solution. Which is why, despite this sometimes crippling guilt, I won’t hold myself back from speaking up and driving awareness and action on issues I care about.With that said, I’m excited to share that @protectourwinters has a new carbon offset program. While, again, it’s not perfect, as in our carbon-based society it’s impossible to be, it is progress. And a great option I plan to embrace in my own travels going forward. Because what makes us come alive is exactly what the world needs right now.————Hit the link below or in my bio to learn more about POW’s program.https://carbon.protectourwinters.org/calculatePhoto @acpictures

Are there ways we can act more consciously as holiday consumers? ⁣ ⁣I recently caught up with Alison Czeczuga, the social impact and sustainability manager at @gaiaherbs. We discussed how supporting certified B Corps is an easy way to be a more conscious consumer. ⁣ ⁣Certified B Corps are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. This is a certification that Gaia Herbs has achieved. You can find a directory of B-Corps at bcorporation.net, or look for the logo on packaging – it's a B with a circle around it.⁣ ⁣We also discussed some ideas for gift giving:⁣* Give experiences rather than things (pictured here- a day out skiing with friends and family is the ultimate gift in my opinion)⁣* Give plant cuttings from succulents and cacti. ⁣* Make donations instead of gifts.⁣* Consider giving gently used items.⁣* Give less but make it higher quality. Consider the life cycle of the product – pay more for recyclability and repairability.⁣* Shop local, shop women led and POC owned brands⁣ ⁣What are your tips? Would love to hear!⁣ ⁣#sponsored #gaiaherbspartner #gaiaherbs #BCorporation #consciousconsumer

Want to see what it’s like to ski Europe’s longest groomed trail in 2 mins? Check out this time lapse/follow cam! ⁣⁣Today, we went back up to ski the Sarenne run from the top of Pic Blanc. It has a 6500 ft (1980m) vertical drop over 10 miles (16km). ⁣⁣We deviated from the piste at the top to find some powder and take some photos, but then we joined back up. It was a good test for my new ACL, and I’m stoked I was able to ski so long! ⁣⁣Eat, sleep, ski is all we’ve done since we got to @clubmedalpedhuez. ⁣⁣It’s been so much fun to explore a new mountain. The Alps give me life! ⁣Follow cam: @rob.lea

One of the biggest highlights of my 2019 was meeting @mrapinoe, @gloriasteinem and @hollylawrencetri at the the @clifbar HQ.⁣I have always been so inspired Gloria Steinem and the US Women's Soccer team and their fight for equal pay. ⁣⁣When @clifbar and LUNA bar heard that each player on the women's team earned $31,250 less than the men, they were shocked and vowed to do something about it. In February 2019, LUNA Bar gave each of the women named to the 2019 World Cup team the $31,250 difference to make their rooster bonus equal to the men's, totaling $718,750.⁣⁣This holiday season, reward companies who are working towards gender equality. You can learn more by checking out the app Gender Fair. Everyone can play a role in advocating for gender equality.⁣⁣#SomedayIsNow #ClimbForEquality #TriForEquality
