As I sat people watching at my third wedding in 9 days I can’t help but stare at the footwear. If you close your eyes and listen you can hear the overwhelming sound of flip-flop…flip-flop. Rarely do you hear the sound of stiletto heals clanking on the hard floor.
Grab your pads, helmet, and DH bike and head to Hemlock Valley BC, Canada for Labor Day weekend. Why not say good-bye to summer by showing your stuff in a first-ever women’s freeride comp. This slope-style competition will give the ladies a chance to show their stuff.
Here is a breakdown of the Hammer product line. Yummy…sometimes.
It was an emotionally charged expedition. A 108km river journey down unexplored whitewater in the middle of Siberia. The Onot River’s remoteness, topography and unstable weather, threw many challenges at both the film crew and ourselves.
Was fortunate to spend yesterday downhill mountain biking in Big Sky, Montana. Unfortunately we are unable to get any of our ski resorts here in Jackson to open for bike traffic. Therefore, we travel the 3 1/2 hours to ride lifts. This is an issue that I will wait to go off about.
Katie Hunter (Board lady) married Johnny Ziem (photographer) on Saturday, August 20. The wedding took place in Harriman State Park in Island Park, Idaho. I thank them for proving to a jaded caterer how wonderful weddings can truly be. I love you both!

After 4 days at a trade show in the Salt Lake City, I was a bit anxious to get some exercise in. My bike commute home happens to take me over a 9,000 ft. mountain pass. A great way to break a bit of a sweat. The weather was not looking too good. It was sprinkling on and off all day. Feeling stir crazy, I decided to grab the raincoat and go for it.

I head to the Patagonia Press Conference titled “We want your Underwear”, not knowing what to expect. I was sure to wear my Patagonia seamless underwear just to be safe. Thank goodness for everyone attending that no one had to drop their drawers and show off their underwear. Instead we were treated to a revolutionary concept: don’t throw away that old capilene, recycle it.
As I stroll the aisles and check out the tons of new outdoor gear I can’t help but get a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Not only are companies starting to catch on with women’s preferences for outdoor gear, they are now producing items that I would actually use or wear as a part of the 30 something crowd.
I am heading to Salt Lake City today for the Summer Outdoor Retailer Show. This trade show is a 5 day event where companies show their products to buyers, media, etc. This is a chance for brands to introduce new lines, get orders written, and schmooz. I am heading down to spread the word of womenspecific.com and get a heads up on what to expect in the women’s market. Please stay tuned as I will update you all on the latest and greatest in the women’s outdoor industry. Exciting stuff!

Meet piglet. Piglet lives on the Organic Farm I work on. Just needed to post this adorable photo. I know…makes it hard to eat that piece of bacon. Sorry!!
I think I need to be a film producer instead of a web-business owner. For the past 4 years I have worked for a local restaurant catering events. You must understand that here in Jackson, Wyoming we do not hold your standard events at catering halls or in restaurants. Here people tend to want to have their weddings out in the middle of a field where you need to haul out everything…including water, ovens, stoves, and bathroom facilities.
