I’m not used to seeing a picture of myself on the cover of a magazine... because as a professional photographer, most of the time I am the one getting photos of other people having fun and getting rad - and seeing those shots on covers, in mags and in campaigns for our clients. What a Nice little Christmas surprise this was when a few copies of this came in the mail. Thank you to the editors of Ruralite for interviewing us about Andy Mahre & I’s ski coaching at White Pass Ski Area through our companies Girls with Grit & MADE - Mahre Athletic Development Experience (we offer private lessons, clinics and all ladies workshops for intermediate-expert level skiers) and for choosing me to be on the December cover... I am truly honored. And thank you to my hubby for hopping behind the lens for a hot minute so that this mama could have a little fun of her own. 🙌❄️👐 #momscanstillrip ||| K2 Skis Smith Yakima Valley Superfeet Worldwide Eddie Bauer Gnarly Nutrition ||| #momair #momathlete #pillowline #magazinecover #ski #powday #skiwhitepass 📷 MAHRE MEDIA Andy

Great article!
After reading this months, the great picture hunt, I could not agree more, in my 66 years I have list so many dear people along the way, most from my younger years, before digital cameras and cell phones, are lost forever. Few times could we afford cameras nor the processing of film. I’am sorry now I did not think ahead, like David, I lost my dear friend Rich Villwock in 96” tho I did take photos of us there will never be anuff, thanks for the story!
