Doughnuts or Bagels? A yogurt bowl and a bagel (from Meyers Bagels in Burlington, Vermont )! I love me a good bowl of yogurt, with homemade granola, apricots, a heap of nuts and a dash of cinnamon with my sesame bagel, PLEASE!

Home mountain range? The Adirondack Mountains are my home, and what I think of as one of the most pure and unique protected wilderness areas in our country. I am so honored to call this 6.1 million acre forest preserve, home. A wide variety of habitats, and old growth forests reside within the blue line, including thousands of lakes, rivers, and streams! I also feel incredibly fortunate to continue to share the Sawtooth Mountains, and Green Mountains, as part of my "expanded" home network.
Fur-baby? I shared 13 years of my life with a sweet fuzz ball, Soleil (Finnish Lapphund), and she was my dog soul mate! Currently, I'm so lucky to share adventures with an Australian Shepard, Oz!

Favorite Trail to bike at Home = Good Luck, Hardy Road, Wilmington, NY.
Favorite Trail to bike in Idaho = Osberg Ridge, Ketchum, ID.
Favorite Trail to bike in Vermont = Mad River Riders Network, Waitsfield, VT.
Favorite Mountain for Laps= Baldy, Ketchum, ID.
Most favorite place for split boarding or nordic explorations in the winter is the High Peaks ADK Backcountry! So fun to rip down from Avalanche Lake on skinny-skis!

Go-to aprés beverage? Apres beverage is seasonal of course! Grapefruit Radler or Fiddlehead beer for mountain biking season. Please serve me up a hot toddy for winter travels!
Day Job? Year round nordic ski coach and a variety of public educator positions. What is that statistic again..on average, a person will change their career 5-7 times during their working life? I'm currently working on one of those transitions.
