100 My Parents Pam and Ed Giecek

My parents talk about life on the trail over the years. My grandpa, Al Christensen, is mentioned a lot because he was the person who ignited the outdoor passion in our family.

My pop also tells the story of my Uncle, Mark Christensen, on a backpack packing trip in the seventies.

We talk about me growing up in Granite Falls and my mom, who worked summers at Camp Silverton up the Mountain Loop Highway in the mid 70's. She also skied Mount Pilchuck regularly and tells some funny stories.

101 Jason Hummel Backcountry Skiing

Jason Hummel is hard to nail down as far as labeling what it is he does in the outdoors. He is a published photographer, backcountry skier, hiker, backpacker, mountain biker and climber.

He and his twin brother have been skiing once a month in the state of Washington since they were both 19 years old. Now in they late thirties, they are setting the record higher as every month passes.

One of Jason's newest projects is called the Washington Glacier Ski Project. Over the next several years he will methodically visit and ski up, down and/or across every named glacier in Washington from the volcanoes, the Olympics and throughout the North Cascades.

We also talk about Jason's book- Alpine State of Mind. I can say, now that I own the book, it is wonderfully put together and the pictures are amazing!
