Continuing the Turns All Year challenge for a fourth year is one of the things in life I’m most proud of 🥹 It might not always be physically difficult, but it does take some devotion and that can be really hard for me. The consistency and always making time for it each month is the real challenge.Cheers to my partner @cryingoverholmilk who has done this with me every single month since I celebrated my one year “birthTAY” just weeks after we met. It was the first time we ever skied together (and the first time I ever skied with @mkchinnart!) so it’s extra special to keep this tradition alive over the years. #womenwhoski #backcountryskiing #outdoorwomen #skiing #tay #turnsallyear by @jakfruit

Heli in, cat ski all day, après, fine dine, rinse, repeat. @baldfacelodge is one of the most luxurious guided cat skiing experiences on the planet, and I’m still pinching myself over the fact I got a seat this year thanks to @aleks_holmIf you ever have the opportunity, just go. It is truly out of this world as far as ski experiences go and worth every effort and dollar spent to get there.Thank you to the guides, the staff, my cat squad, and especially to the bartender @mossa_rose for befriending me. I was the only girl among about 30 men, so having a gal pal meant a lot 🥹#backcountryskiing #catskiing #womenwhoski #apresski #skitravel by @jakfruit

I just feel like are way more relaxing places to sweat than a eucalyptus steam room. #outdoorwomen by @jakfruit

Stay hydrated ladies. You can also use these when it’s on the way back out. No sitting or squatting necessary (but maybe don’t beer bong with it again) #outdoorwomen by @jakfruit

There’s still snow out there boys. And bugs. Just so many bugs. #turnsallyear #womenwhoski #backcountryskiing by @jakfruit

So my friends and I tried those funnel things that let ladies stand while they pee in the woods so you don’t have to. 2 of 3 found great success and one of us will continue to squat 🫠 #outdoorwomen #backpacking by @jakfruit

The one where we hiked a grill, brauts and beers to the Solstice party and fed drunk skiers hot dogs. Thanks @jrynkiewicz for the heavy lifting. #glizzy #backcountryskiing by @jakfruit

It’s still hard to talk about the year we all spent $1400 on core shots and broken dreams. #skiing by @jakfruit

To be fair it was my decision to pack 20lbs of fondue ingredients and strap two baguettes to my pack and I totally own that. But we need our protein. #skipacking #backpacking #backcountryskiing by @jakfruit

But seriously how do you even do this on a snowboard? 🫠 Just saw that everyone’s favorite Chilean ski resort just opened over the weekend, so now you can go ride this spooky thing yourself. Staying at this resort just outside of Los Andes is one of the coolest friggin’ ski experiences you can have on the entire planet. It feels a bit like skiing in a 1960s era Wes Anderson movie. This type of lift is called the “Va Y Vient,” and is probably the wildest chairlift in existence. It’s not specific to Portillo - you can still find these in several other countries.📍 Ski Portillo @skiportillo Los Andes, Chile by @jakfruit
