I’m in love with the outdoors. I actually live in the country, and I can’t go a single day without taking a small hike. It’s especially beautiful at night, when the world is asleep and when you can see the skies filled with stars.

It’s kind of a dream of mine to go and take a trip just backpacking across the world (as insane as that sounds). I know I’ll take a big trip someday though, maybe up through Canada or something.

I used to live in the mountains, well for 2 years anyway. I was basically employed to chat and hike in the summers (it’s more work in the winter, but you get a free ski pass, so it kinda evens out!!). I’d love to try climbing, but I miss all the hiking and via ferrata/klettersteig I used to be able to do! There is loads of walking/hiking routes around where I live now but you have to be able to drive to get to the best ones, where I used to live I pretty much just had to walk out my front door.

I also love skiing, always a skier, never a boarder though, I tried it and really could never get to grips with the whole it being strapped to both my feet thing!

I love to go on a good romp about when I have the time. I live in Utah too, so I can literally step out my door, walk ten minutes and find myself delving into the heart of a mountain. I often wonder if I’ll find dwarves… Haha, jk! (Sort of…)

And yeah, I’m more of a spring to autumn adventure guy. Once that cold wet stuff hits I’m just like, “well! Time to do homework or something!”

I guess I should answer my own question.
I’m personally a much bigger fan of colder, wetter, climates. I spent 80 days in Washington/British Columbia a couple years back and it was amazing. As I mentioned, I spent time in Alaska this past Summer. I really want to get to Scandinavia and Patagonia in the next several years.

I did a lot of canoeing and small hiking trips when I was younger, but recently it’s been mostly backpacking. I’ve done a bit of mountaineering and I really want the opportunity to try that again.

I also really want to get my WFR and maybe eventually become a WEMT.

I love to go hiking right now I live in a wonderful place to just hike into the hills right behind my dorm. However being a college student; between working and homework/class I don’t have time to get out and do much hiking. It’s been driving me nuts this year that I don’t even have the time to go down to the climbing gym on campus and rock climb. I really hope I can find time after I get my Bachlor. However I plan to be moving to the middle of the city so Its more likely that I’ll be walking the beach then hiking the hills. Not to bad of an exchange in my opinion. I love both.

I really like going camping, skiing, outdoorsy stuff, and especially climbing. I haven’t been able to go nearly as much as I would like. I go away to camp for a about a week in the summer but otherwise I mostly go climbing in a gym because I live in suburbia. While there are a lot of parks to hike and bike in, I’m not a fan unless there is something to see (I don’t view the paths around the drainage ponds as something to see). The places that I like to go are the parks downtown or parks that are out a ways from where I live and I can’t go with out my dad (my mother does not camp, ever).
I am going to an environmental school for junior and senior year of high school so hopefully I’ll get to go camping and climbing and everything a lot more than.
I like skiing (both cross country and down hill) but it is hard to get out to the ski hills and the parks have weird hours for renting crossing country ski’s. The lack of snow where I live has been terrible this year.
