Powder Awards

Pretty Faces…the movie I’m a part of…is up for Powder Awards “Movie of the Year!” This is so huge!

Pretty Faces World Premiere

The premiere of Pretty Faces was one month ago…and it was amazing!

Yay for unicorns!

We did it!

2014 brought success at Rainier for the Watsons!

We summitted at around 7 AM – which meant for some breathtaking views as the sun rose on the way up.

And after the sun had come up, and we were headed down, it made for some spectacular glacier views and realizations of what we had crossed on the way up!

If you can’t tell, it was a really amazing trip!

Rainier Training!

While no bears are pictured, bears were in attendance.

Pretty Faces

I’ve gotten involved in a lot of “grown up” things such as SheJumps (which I mentioned before) that have taken up my goofy arts and crafts time…the stories still play out in my head, I just need some time to get them to paper! Another one of these grown up things is a project that I’m very proud to be a part of – Pretty Faces. Pretty Faces is an all women’s ski film set to premier this fall and is filled with amazing women, ranging from the biggest names in the ski industry to 8 year girls who are just stoked to be in the snow!

My first trip to Canada

I had a blast skiing glaciers with a group of totally awesome ladies!

I’m off to Canada

My first trip out of the US…and my first time on a helicopter…big things are coming! I’ll be participating in the SheJumps Alpine Finishing School in the coming week!!!!

Ski Ski Ski!

I had a ton of fun this winter skiing in MT…except for the frostbite!

Showing a little gratitude

It’s always good to be thankful!

Toe modeling is also out

I used to boast about my perfect legs that would be sure to land me a leg modeling job (that exists right?).  Well now I’d like to throw my hat into the toe modeling arena…because my toes are definitely not ruined!

(I got frostbite!)

Merry Christmas from Montana!

Some entertainment from Dark Kitty and White Kitty…they seem to enjoy their present!

And Merry Christmas from the foxes on the roof!

I recently hit 10,000 page views!

Thems a lot of views!

Happy Halloween

One of my bear friends would like to wish you all a very happy Halloween!

Have you ever wondered how to make a tutu?

Well, then I have an amazingly wonderful surprise for you!

I’ll be sporting one of these bad boys for an upcoming mud run!

Rainier

I’ve been super non-posty lately because of overwhelming busyness over the past several months. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m involved with SheJumps and have been in the midst of getting events set up across the Southeast!

I’ve also been training to climb a mountain!

For months I’ve been hiking every weekend with a pack FULL of water bottles to get ready to attempt to summit Rainier.

Unfortunately, weather stood in the way of us reaching the summit. The guides said it was a no-go when the conditions turned to ~80 mph winds, rain, sleet, and no visibility. It was awesome being back in WA and a great experience being on Rainier though! I’ll be back at it with my brothers next year for round 2!!!

King of the Butterflies

On one of my recent hikes, I made a new friend. A butterfly friend. It landed on me 20+ times, so I had to kindly let it know that it would be smashed by my backpack (inadvertently) if it didn’t flutter away. That along with the erratic flailing that followed sent my butterfly friend on its way.

(The little white thing on my shoulder is the butterfly!)

SheJumps Regional Coordinator

I’ve been named the Southeast SheJumps Regional Coordinator! I’ve written about this organization before, but now have a larger part in it and am so thrilled and honored to be involved!

Check out my introduction on the Southeast page here. And get involved! You can reach out to me or your region’s coordinator for more info.

Here’s me doing my best at modeling our shirt featuring the amazingly awesome Girafficorn! I’m real good at modeling.
