Learning to ice climb has given me a renewed joy for early winter. Before big ski lines come into condition, I still find myself craning my neck out the window, watching ice flows form. How many of you plan to ice climb this winter? #bigmtndreams #livelifeproof @lifeproof #sponsor
Thinking back to one of the first times I saw a glacier. I was captivated by the huge wall of ice. Since that first interaction (on Cayambe in Ecuador), I've been inspired to visit many more glaciers around the world. My love of snow and ice is one of the reasons I'm paying attention to what's happening in Paris right now. There's a lot at stake- I hope world leaders can find solutions to reduce the effects of climate change so future generations can experience the awe of sights like these. #cop21 #uniteforpow
We're all just looking for a place we belong, where we are accepted and loved for who we are. This is something I've struggled with my whole life. I've always felt like a lone wolf. Eventually I found the outdoor and snowsports community and now, the huge @instagram community. So I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone here for loving and accepting me just for who I am. Much love in return.Photo: @rob.lea
Highlights from last night's #powderawards: seeing the top ten women honored in the Reader's Poll (instead of just five), watching @angelcollinson take home best line (the first woman ever!) and taking home my first ever Reader Poll Award! Third place. Huge thanks to all of you, my friends and followers and to all my sponsors @jaybirdsport @patagonia @lifeproof @julbousa @lekiusa @nordicausa @goalzero @clifbarcompany and @prethelmets and huge thanks to @powdermagazine!
Can't wait to do this. I'm starting to love the up as much as the down. Snow-filled couloirs are in my #bigmtndreams. What are yours made of? Photo: Wolverine Cirque, Wasatch Backcountry @rob.lea #poweryourpassion @jaybirdsport
