Introduction
"I love hiking I just moved here from Colorado where you just needed to walk out your door and your hiking. Here in NY that is a little more difficult and meeting a group that shares that interest would be cool."
What's your favorite/least favorite 'critter' in the outdoors?

I like watching raptors. I spent an entire summer watching a Swainson's Hawk incubate and raise her chicks near my house. That would be snakes, yeah Indiana Jones and I share the same fear.

Are you a 4-season backpacker? What's the coldest temperature you've slept outdoor in.

I took a hut trip in the Colorado backcountry and it was %@&$%% minus 5 degrees.

Do you have current Wilderness First Aid training? If not, would you be interested in getting this certification?

No but I would love to get that certificate. I do have avalanche training experience.

Tell us about one of your favorite outdoor adventures.

I love to backcountry snowboard and once we went on a 4 day backcountry trip near steamboat, CO. It was just beautiful and we had a blast with zero injuries but lots of amazing first tracks.

What's your favorite snack food on the trail?

Apple
