TR: Things that Make Me Happy

I like September. Usually. Admittedly, this September has been on the rougher side of fall with the plethora of rain

Leaves are A-Changing (21 Sept 2013)

There’s no doubt about it. Fall has come late to these parts. We’ve been yearning for those sunny blue-sky and

Somewhere High 8.11.13

These photos got lost in the shuffle of this summer, but it’s too aesthetic of a ride not to share

TR: Scarps Ridge Traverse Hike (15 Aug 2013)

The entire ridge traverse of Scarps Ridge has been on my mind to do as a hike for over a year now. But, something like this is always more fun to do with a little bit of company. So, when my friend Jenny said she had the day off and wanted to go for a hike, the Scarp’s Traverse was one of my first suggestions.

Gimps Resort Skiing Trauma Incident

Unlucky Lucky: Skiing Again!

February 4, 2020 Brittany Walker Konsella

At the end of the appointment, the doctor sat me down and said, “Let’s talk about skiing.” In my head I said, “I thought you’d never ask!” But, I refrained. He asked, “Do you even want to ski this year?” I nodded my head in silent response, but inside I was screaming, “Oh hell yeah!” Then he asked, “Do you have a seasons pass?” I nodded my head again and mumbled something about buying it before the accident and just keeping it because I thought I’d be skiing in spring for sure. Then he said, “I think you should get out and ski. I think it will help you mentally.” Yep, this doc knows me, or at least knows my type. Of course, there was the whole spiel about starting out slow, on groomers only, etc. But, I already knew this. It’s not like I haven’t been through 3 ACL surgeries before.
