Backcountry skiing in my home mountain range, the Wasatch, has added so much to my quality of life in Utah. The long walks uphill and exhilarating descents connect me to nature and offer much needed quiet time to sort through my thoughts. I feel an obligation to make sure we preserve the experience for future generations, which is why I’ve joined the @wasatchbackcountryalliance board of directors! And we want to hear from you. We’re collecting stories from people who utilize the Grizzly Gulch trailhead! Share your favorite stories using the #KeepGrizzlyWild for a chance to be featured on the Wasatch Backcountry Alliance instagram! Photo: @stasia_art
