I've been on a whirlwind of trips from coast to coast but I'm heading home to Utah tonight. I can't wait to see all the fresh snow there (and catch up on photo editing from the Canadian Rockies- here's a teaser)! Photo: @rob.lea
One of my first jobs in the outdoor industry was working as a greeter and cashier at the Salt Lake @REI store, and I'm proud to stand with them as we chose to #optoutside this Black Friday. We will see how conditions play out, but ice climbing could be the perfect activity! Last winter at the Bozeman Ice Festival, I had a great time free climbing just a few feet above the ground to get this shot with @ktmillerphoto. Created in partnership with @REI. #sponsoredPhoto: @rob.lea

Bring it on winter. I don't get tired of seeing snow-covered landscapes.
This photo is from when I skied Pisco, a 18,871 foot peak in the Cordillera Blanca range in Peru. On the ascent, the wind caused temperatures to be much colder than I expected. As I climbed, I felt myself slipping into a near hypothermic state. I was angry, I was clumsy, I even cried a little under my sunglasses. But I persisted and finally warmed up in the sun to enjoy the beautiful ski descent. Overcoming obstacles like this is what @disneystudios new movie #thefinesthours is all about. Check out the trailer online and the link below to a contest they are doing on Tumblr that celebrates brave moments like this. Winner gets a trip to the Disney resort in Hawaii. thefinesthours.tumblr.com #partner
