First Exposure to the Outdoors

I was I was born and raised in Portland Oregon and I probably had a pair of skis on my feet when I was two years old. I grew up on a lake sailing and canoeing and lots of acvities. We never went backpacking or camping. My parents weren't that adventurous. There's also no shortage of things to do up here which is why I'm back.
