I thought my college backcountry course would be canceled today because of high winds… but instead, we pushed through, embraced the elements, and made it to the top—smiling the whole way. This is what backcountry education is all about: learning to adapt, work with the conditions, and trust your skills. The wind was howling, but the ride down? Absolutely worth it. Some of the best lessons happen when the weather isn’t perfect. #laketahoe #wildernesseducation #california #weol #wilderness #mountains #ltcc #backcountry #college #wind
