Now we understand why the question was continually asked of us when we recently visited the US, “Have you read Born to Run?”. Until now, the answer was, “No”.
I typically avoid such books. I don’t read any How to Do anything, avoid “Self Help” as if it were death and entirely ignore any outdoor publications. [...]

Born to Run Ski Bike Climb

I just wanted to say thanks to Dan Patitucci who invited me to write this post for Dolomite Sport. Like Dan & Janine, we too are expat mountain enthusiasts. My husband led me to the Alps 10 years ago and we are still here with a family of two young boys who also share the [...]
Ski Randonee and Ski Running Explained
Ski Mountaineering Introduction
Let’s just start by saying that I recognize that this is not a post for every kind of skier. For whatever reason, the subject of going backcountry skiing for more than just ripping turns or dropping into steep couloirs is more than some can handle. I know thanks to a few pieces [...]

Backcountry Skiing Conditions
The thought of backcountry skiing the lower elevation trees was out of the question this morning. Boring was the term that was coming to mind. After 13 days skiing the backcountry, it was time to get up high and put some mileage in. In the morning we called it recon for conditions, now in the [...]
Tour du Mont Blanc | Running Trip
Unlike our other favorite trips, reflecting on this little outing is primarily a blur. The experience as a whole is there, but the individual components are not so sharp. Thanks to some IT Band issues, it hurt. But still, it makes the list of 5 Favorite Trips. This is why.
I knew who Topher Gaylord was [...]
Sierra Nevada | Evolution Traverse
The Evolution Traverse
As professional photographers, our launch pad was shooting climbing photos. Rock & Ice and Climbing Magazine were our bread and butter. We got to go climbing, take some snaps, and get them to the magazines. At that time I was a climber first, photographer second and the idea of getting paid to make [...]
Our Favorite Mountain Sport Trips
Janine and I get asked a lot about our favorite trips for mountain sports. While I loathe the idea of “Top Whatever Lists”, I am going to report my favorites because it is a good reason to delve into my own memories and see what has been most rewarding.
As professional mountain sport photographers, we have [...]
