I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Black Alder GORE-TEX 2L Snow Jacket - Men's

Description

Why We Like The Black Alder 2L GORE-TEX Snow Jacket

Trees are what make backcountry skiing interesting. They twist, blow in the wind, and fall to create exceptional features. When we are navigating skin tracks and slashing powder amongst these trees, we rely on the Quiksilver Black Alder 2L GORE-TEX Snow Jacket. This jacket keeps us protected like an old growth tree, thanks to its GORE-TEX laminate that blocks out driving snow and wind found on ridges. We can also regulate our body temperature by unzipping the underarm vents while gliding up the skin track.
