This winter, I found myself consistently waking up at 4 a.m. Instead of alpine starts answering the call of the mountains, I was responding to the cries of my infant son. As I approached motherhood, part of me worried that I would lose my drive for splitboarding instead of adventures in the alpine, settling into the slower pace found in the valley. Thankfully, I have found that becoming a mom has ignited a new fire to pursue my passions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been lucky to grow up surrounded by the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. From a young age, I found myself drawn to explore the mountains, seeking the feeling of being small surrounded by the vast landscape. Every time I go in the mountains I appreciate their beauty and power. Since becoming a mom, I have spent less time in the mountains, but my appreciation for them has grown. The feeling of awe I get from standing on top of a line is much like looking into my little guy\u2019s big eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
