Mountain Sense

Mountain Sense's first 'live' episode, recorded at Valkyr Adventures LQ Outpost. After a week of overindulging on epic Kootenay powder skiing, we overindulged on dessert and bourbon and talked about guiding... and stuff.

Kel Rossiter (https://www.adventurespiritguides.com/guides/our-guide-instructors/) and Taylor Luneau come on to talk about their project, Guides 4 Galciers. G4G is a movement/collective that aims to leverage our community of guides to promote awareness about and enact change to fight climate change.

I sit down with Connie Sciolino, Head Coach and Founder of Boulder's notorious Alpine Training Center to discuss training, fitness, and injury prevention for mountain professionals.

Sheldon Kerr is a AMGA certified Ski Guide and making her way toward full IFMGA/AMGA certification. She currently works in the Tetons for Exum. Sheldon is a prominent voice in the fight for gender equity in the guiding profession and has been a strong advocate for increasing the diversity and inclusivity in the mountains. In this episode we discuss the challenges that women and other underrepresented groups face in the guiding profession and talk about some of the solutions that are currently underway.

Eddie talks briefly about the goals and motivation behind the show.

Caitlin Pascucci. This girl knows how to get after it! Founder and owner of Sangha Studio, Burlington VT's first (and only) nonprofit, donation-based yoga studio, Caitlin is busy paving her own way through the yoga world. During our talk she shares her story about how she went from being bribed into a yoga classes with the promise of post-practice burgers, to leaving her day job and opening up her own studio. What inspires me most about Caitlin is her authenticity and genuine desire to follow her own path. In a town with yoga studios on every block, it takes a real commitment and passion to be successful and so far Caitlin is doing just that. Caitlin's story is a great example about how yoga can help us to tune in and trust the wisdom of our hearts, and how it leads us to where we need to be. If you find yourself in Burlington, VT get yourself over to Sangha Studio for a class. Caitlin and everyone else involved with Sangha are working hard to live up to the name. There is truly a community and family vibe to the space and it shines through during every class. Beautiful things are coming out of this studio!
