(@stirlandraephoto)1. Wade into an Icy River
@jim.stimson: Home sweet home… it never gets old.
2. Jog to the Top
@tannerjfrost: A beautiful day to jog to the summit of Squaw Peak (7,877′) – 4 miles, 2600′ elevation gain one way.
3. Cruise Empty Roads
@stirlandraephoto: Winter Solstice means you’ll likely will get these type of roads all to yourself.
4. Boot Up
@mmpurlington: Walk and talk Wednesday with @wondermomanjax pulling me out of my office chair for a quick lap!
5. Run through Fresh Powder
@runwithtara: I wanna shape the world to fit the way you move.
6. Fat Bike

7. Carve Out Time
@gpasca: Winter is finally here—therefore it’s time for some proper training.
8. Nordic Ski
@kojman47: This is what I wake up for.
9. Find New Limits on Foot
@me.llamo.liz: You know how people always ask you on your birthday, “Do you feel older?” Well, after running a muddy and hilly 30 miles on my 30th (after not having run more than 15 miles in a year) I can truthfully answer YES. No other way I’d rather spend my birthday than celebrating and pushing my limits on my favorite trails all day.
10. Go Splitboarding
@jaelynwolf: Let me remind you of all the things that really matter…
11. Transport Precious Cargo

14. Go Skating
@superhazeman: On the ice again.
15. Bring a Workout Buddy
@nicolehandel: I don’t have a better word for today than “epic.” Several feet of snow, lots of ice, possible frostbite, good company… it was fabulous.
