Dropping into Copper Bowl on a bluebird day yesterday ⛷🙌🏻 So grateful to see another mountain and I can’t wait to go back! @coppermtn • • • • • #travelblog #blogger #colorado #ski #entertheadventure #optoutside #photooftheday #liveyouradventure #borntotravel #outdoorwoman #amongthewild #getoutside #womenwhoexplore #thedailyadventurer #forceofnature #rei1440project #igtravel #everyonesoutdoors #douloslivin
Yesterday I completed my goal of skiing 30 days straight! For those who don’t know, I decided upon moving to @steamboatcolorado I wanted to get better at skiing and I was inspired by a friend who did a 30 day surfing challenge. • I am excited to say that over the past 30 days I have gone from a cautious blue run skier to a skier of double black diamonds and a lover of trees. I’m excited to see what the rest of the winter will hold and I’m thankful to everyone that supported and skied with me along the way! ⛷❄️🏔 • • • • • #travelblog #blogger #colorado #ski #entertheadventure #optoutside #photooftheday #findyouradventure #liveyouradventure #borntotravel #instatravel #outdoorwoman #getoutside #womenwhoexplore #thedailyadventurer #forceofnature #rei1440project #igtravel #everyonesoutdoors #douloslivin

Sending it for 10 straight days in a row ⛷ 20 more to go! • • • • • #travelblog #colorado #ski #entertheadventure #optoutside #photooftheday #findyouradventure #liveyouradventure #borntotravel #instatravel #outdoorwoman #moderndayexplorer #amongthewild #getoutside #womenwhoexplore #wildernessculture #thedailyadventurer #forceofnature #rei1440project #igtravel #everyonesoutdoors #douloslivin
Today was my 8th straight day of skiing. I’m excited to see how long I can keep the streak up ⛷ Also, to top it all off, it was a powder day ❄️ • • • #travelblog #blogger #colorado #ski #entertheadventure #optoutside #photooftheday #findyouradventure #liveyouradventure #borntotravel #instatravel #outdoorwoman #moderndayexplorer #amongthewild #getoutside #womenwhoexplore #wildernessculture #thedailyadventurer #forceofnature #rei1440project #igtravel #everyonesoutdoors #douloslivin
Stop, breathe, and listen. After the craziness of the holidays, I am definitely glad to slow down and take some moments to enjoy the beauty and peace that surrounds me. • • • #travelblog #blogger #colorado #entertheadventure #optoutside #photooftheday #findyouradventure #liveyouradventure #borntotravel #instatravel #outdoorwoman #moderndayexplorer #amongthewild #getoutside #womenwhoexplore #wildernessculture #thedailyadventurer #forceofnature #rei1440project #igtravel #everyonesoutdoors #douloslivin #hiking_collective #hikingtheglobe #hikingculture #WhyIHike
