If you zoom in, you will see the biggest grin on my face. Day 17 on skis for the 18-19 season!#I came up to Banff to speak at the Decentralized Energy Forum #DEF2018 and had an exciting day yesterday doing a keynote speech where I shared some of the parallels between managing risk in the mountains and the business arena. Public speaking is a different kind of adrenaline rush, and it’s one I enjoy very much. Huge thanks to all the conference organizers and attendees for bringing me here! We’re taking advantage of the opportunity to be in Banff and will be adventuring in the area for a few more days! Today, we linked up with several local crushers that I’ve been following on the gram for awhile (@kyleetothohler, @shittymountaineer and @makkybobby) to have them show us around their backyard. I am so grateful for the opportunity to travel through the backcountry with folks who know the mountain so intimately, and to get to know another ripping woman! Kylee is on the Canadian Skimo team and is one of the fastest women in North America. I loved getting to know her, Kieran and Michael and I can’t wait to see more of the mountains on skis during this trip! #bigmtndreams Photo: @rob.lea
