Arc'teryx Equipment reposted this
Taking a moment to celebrate our first-ever Backcountry Academy in Mammoth, CA which just wrapped last weekend. We like to refer to our Arc'teryx Equipment Academies as the world’s largest offering of mountain education and programming, and this was no different. From clinics such as Queer Intro to Splitboarding with Shelma Jun, our partnership with Sierra Mountain Guides, all the way to the parties, films, speakers and music, and the folks who joined us, it was an Academy experience I’ll never forget. My favorite moment in particular was watching the film Butterfly in a Blizzard, a heart-felt story featuring athletes Kimmy Fasani and Chris Benchetler sharing their experience as both professional athletes and parents, and the struggles that exists in-between. Their emotions and experiences are ones that many parents and families can relate to, all while celebrating their love of the mountains. Here’s to many more inspiring and memorable moments—both on and off the mountain! 📸 credit to: Travis Frey & Jessy Braidwood
