Our family is moving through the teen years, and while we are looking forward to launching the kids into their adulthood, we look back often to our adventures. I realized that our family, like many, have some unspoken agreements. Our kids have been raised with mantras that are part of how they do life. Whether…

Popping In On Our Friends All Over
We have been in our “Freejourner mode” this summer. We move fast and pack a lot into our days. Tonight, I’m writing from a downtown DC hotel after the 4th of July festivities while the family is sleeping. I’m getting some laundry done because of wet clothes during today’s rainstorm. I was out for a…
We Like and Need Rest
This has been a welcome Spring. Our snowboarding season full of training and competitions was long and intense, like for most of these awesome mountain snowboarding families up here in Summit County. We had some overlap between seasons where Gabe was competing at snowboarding nationals and in the middle of track season. Isaac has been…
The Intentional Life
I’m a reader of Doug Casey, the International Man, who is a well-seasoned traveler and non-conformist contrarian. My kind of people. He put out an article recently, How Much Money is Enough. It’s well worth the read and his life experiences, perspective and sharing of a friend’s journey out of the rat race to the other…
Jumps, Comps and Freeriding as a Snowboarding Family
Ironically, I feel rested on Mondays. We have whirlwind weekends in the winter with snowboarding as all five of us get on the snow. Early morning breakfasts, gearing up and loading and unloading our stuff at the different resorts up here toasts me by Sunday night. We love it though! Being on snow as a…
Working as a Freejourner
That’s a pic of Jadyn working on her studies. I’m working on various creative projects at a coffee shop out here in Breckenridge. Sonya is playing tennis with a friend and we have meetings and more tennis the rest of the day. It’s our down time, ironically, working and living our Freejourner life between long, fun…
Most Things Don’t Matter
I’m approaching 40 days on the mountain on my way to another 100. Today’s a work day. And a pow day! Peak 7 is my office right now on the mountain. I’ve had a lot of fun with client conference calls up lifts and down terrain and then meeting some new friends along the way over…
Subtraction and Simplicity
We have been living our continual Freejourner ways in a different context up here in the mountains of Breckenridge. We wake up in the middle of the woods in a home that pierces with big views and sun rays. We are eagerly waiting for snow and getting on the slopes as a family snowboarding. The kids…
Breckenridge Weather is Crazy, But We Still Hike
We had a pretty crappy mountain day today. A cold front is coming through and hitting the whole area in Breckenridge with storms, and that’s never safe to summit with on the trail. But late in the evening after we took the kids out to jump tramps and practice their flips at Woodward Copper, we…
