I'm taking a small group on a trip I personally customized for our private tour and would love for you to join us! Dates are March 23-28, 2022, and you can find more scoop at the Events section of my website. It's INCREDIBLE!!! https://www.destinationu.net/event-details/south-iceland-winter-tour-deposit-to-secure-your-spot

Road trip find! We stumbled upon a really fun competition this summer, watching athletes perfect their aerial skiing tricks in the pool! Was really cool to see this is how these Olympic hopefuls progress and to see this park & Olympic Museum near Park Cities Utah. Did you know you can take a ride on the bobsled track?

I absolutely LOVE the JuST folded egg product for a quick and easy daily breakfast so I can get outside to tackle my next hike, snowshoe, snowboard, bike ride, whatever! I'm not a born cook so I also love that I can easily use this and try different recipes on my own CULINARY adventure:) What will you create with it? I have this and other favorites on my website and encourage you to subscribe here and on my website for more recommendations and ideas to redefine what's possible at this life chapter and to live with more adventure, more fun and more fulfillment over 40!

UHMAZING! We went on an absolutely stunning snow hike and met women who inspired ME! I'm 54 and thought I was kickin it but these 60+ year olds are literally blazing the trail ahead of me:) This only reinforces my philosophy that we have to be intentional with our time and we HAVE to get out and explore all the magic around us. Thank you, Sandy, and thank you, Elaine for helping me inspire others to redefine what's possible and for showing how easy it is to get out there and just try it! You didn't get to hiking this tougher trail without taking the earlier steps and working you way up:) I absolutely love that I'm following in your footsteps and learning every day as I want to get out and see and do everything I can while I'm still young - that's right! Check out my other channel videos and free download checklist (www.destinationu.net/winterhiking) for what to take on your winter hike and for ideas and resources and the opportunity to join a bunch of badass women living with more adventure, fun and fulfillment over 40! What'd Wendy Wear?! My favorites of all the brands are also in the downloadable checklist - let me know if you try them!

Grab your friends and head out to the Nearest Town Square, Christmas market or holiday parade to check out the beautiful lights. Give the best gift of the season – your time together:) #friends #christmas #holidayseason #holidaylights #inspiringyournext #shorts

Wonder about snowshoeing but never tried it before now? I didn't get started until my 40s into this awesome activity but absolutely LOVE it! It's easy to do - literally walking on a trail in a beautiful snow globe - so check out why everyone should try this and my tips on how you - even as a beginner - can get started with or without having your own snowshoes! I recommend renting gear first and have suggestions in the video but then look into used sporting goods stores or online resellers as I purchased my first pair for $25 on Craigslist and it was all I needed to get going. Once I realized how much I love it, I upgraded and still have my CL pair for friends who join me!! There's much more to hiking in the winter so also check out my other videos with key tips to ensure you're safe with the right equipment, the right car & tires, and any "unforeseen problems" planning steps. Also check out my website for upcoming group outings, including options for beginners and get introduced to this wonderful activity!!! Go to my website and download your FREE checklist to what to pack for your next winter hike: destinationu.net/winterhiking Thanks here to the companies for the gear I rely on in my snowshoe and winter hiking excursions: #atlassnowshoes #mountainhardware #osprey #salomon #title9

Taking a walk in a winter snow globe is truly a magical experience but it's important to be prepared with the right gear so you're comfortable no matter what the weather brings so join me to dive into what I pack and what I think you should pack for your next cold weather hike. Go to my website and download your free pdf checklist to ensure nothing is missed! destinationu.net/winterhiking. It may seem like a lot of gear but trust me that it's much better to be over prepared for a winter hike than to find yourself caught out in bad weather and delayed or stuck somewhere, so know this list is more than what I hopefully will ever need. Search and rescue teams tell you to have enough gear that you can stay overnight if absolutely necessary. If you're new to winter hiking, start close to home and let others know where and when you're going and when to expect you back. You'll quickly figure out what works and what doesn't work for you and make changes and gain confidence for longer snow hikes in the future! Share your hiking photos and videos and tag me at destinationuwendy and inspiringyournext so we can continue to inspire others to get out there and go for their first winter hike!

Join us for a free webinar Wednesday and check out a quick clip here of the slightly longer version on my YouTube Channel. See what it's like to hike up what's called a "14er" out West - a mountain peak that reaches 14,000 feet. I think it's especially fabulous - hiking that is - for us guys and gals over 40 as it's inspiring, a great goal and something that helps us improve our physical and mental health.
