    About Spencer

    Snowboarding started it and running deepened it. Still the same stoke, just a new perspective. Growing up I spent as much time outside as possible. Snowboarding revealed a deep connection with the mountains which always brought me profound joy, happiness, and sense of belonging here. I used to day dream of boarding every day in class, filling notebooks with doodles of park features, mountain ranges, trail maps etc. Most days I would head straight to the mountain after school, and as I grew into the sport I began competing, eventually moving to Bolton Valley, VT where I spent several seasons working and riding every day. I still board anytime I get the chance, and these days any of my free time is spent exploring local trails and training for the never ending calendar of ultra races. At the end of the day, this planet always provides an outlet to connect with a deeper spirit we all share. I nourish my soul by chasing this connection in ways that keep me inspired and provide the most joy. Once you get outside, having the right gear makes every experience better! That's why I'm passionate about sharing what I've learned to help others have fun outside, whether it's shredding pow or ripping singletrack.
