I have been very lucky to know this young athlete for years. She is a talented skier, climber, kayaker, skijorer, and to top it all off a very humble young person! I will admit at times I am envious of her lifestyle! Mallory is a fortunate young gal who has the outdoors at her fingertips! She has great parents who have shared their love and traditions of being outside.
One of the many things I enjoy as a ski coach is getting to know the athletes and their families. I have lifelong friendships built around outdoor activities. I treasure these friendships and memories. I love showing up to some outdoor event where there are longtime outdoor friends. It just seems like within seconds you are right back to that last adventure or planning a new one without missing a single heartbeat.
I hope to stay friends with Mallory and her family for years to come. Mallory is maturing into a future guide and she may even take up that profession. I hope she does! To Mallory and all those up and coming young outdoor athletes/adventurers who love the wild open spaces:
Never forget the peace & happiness the outdoors gives to you & keep sharing that love with others!
To all you gals out there I just wanted to share this great bit of inspiration.
