It’s never easy to get up in the dark, but the pink light makes it all worth it! What motivates you?This photo, taken by @jaybeyerimaging, is from my first (and only) ski trip to Alaska in 2014 where we snow camped on the glacier, and hiked up all the lines we skied down. I learned a lot on that trip about risk management and decision making in remote big mountains. It’s fun to look back and see how far I’ve come! #bigmtndreams
