Seeing that I waved the white flag and put my snow Seeing that I waved the white flag and put my snowboard away for the winter this past weekend, it's only fitting that Murphy's Law went FU and snowed on us this Monday.⁠ ⁠ Now that winter's on the outs, I better get a move on posting all the ice cold content I've been sitting on all winter long before it's totally irrelevant.⁠ ⁠ #TBT to once upon an Aspen time when I thought cross country skiing was a good idea.

Meet Wild Bluebell. When @lululemon uploaded the D Meet Wild Bluebell. When @lululemon uploaded the Down For it All in this gorgeous shade, I was stoked it arrived before I headed back to Colorado earlier this month. By the time I got there, it was unseasonably toasty out. Not ideal conditions for a down jacket. 🥵⁠ ⁠ So, @wxkylenelson and I made the collective decision that margaritas were a better idea than riding around on slushy snow. Thanks to this brilliant judgement call, we managed to avoid Aspen proper. Shortly after returning home, I found out a large group of tourists in town tested positive for #COVID19 while we were just a few miles away. Bullet dodged.⁠ ⁠ Moral of the story? Always choose margaritas. Margaritas have your back. 🍹 #cheers #margaritamonday #optinside

Going through a pile of media yesterday, it dawned Going through a pile of media yesterday, it dawned on me that I have been sitting on tons of photos/videos that I’ve always wanted to post, yet they’ve never made it out of my drafts. Maybe I didn’t want to throw off the grid. Maybe it was the wrong time of day to maximize reach. Maybe my followers wouldn’t find it as fun/cool/interesting as I do. Shame on me for allowing the nonexistent opinions of others (if you don’t post it people can’t have thoughts on it) to get in the way of my using this platform to share various photos/moments that make me happy for whatever reason. No más. So what if this isn’t a photo of a new lulu outfit or a finish line selfie. After 3 years lacking confidence in myself, I rode Aspen Mountain on one of the most beautiful days anyone could ask for. A longstanding goal of mine was crushed, and I want to share it with the world.
#ad #thesweatlife⁠⠀ Despite how amusing little #ad #thesweatlife⁠⠀ Despite how amusing little kids in giant snowsuits are, the marshmallow look isn't for everyone. So how's a girl to keep warm on the mountain without looking like the Michelin Man? The @lululemon Down For it All Jacket. It's currently on WMTM for a very reasonable $139, and a review in 30 seconds or less can be found on YouTube & AthletiKaty.com ☺️
