After a year hiatus, I thought we would get back to some #NACFORADVENTURE spotlights. And it couldn’t be a more perfect time to showcase one of my favorite female skiers that I had the privilege to hang out and ski with alot over this season: Addy, who you’ve may seen on socials as “Addy Jacobsend“

She ‘s a die-hard skier that has a knack for big mountain sending and bringing technical skills to the hill.

I met Addy through the wonderful world of TikTok, so make sure to give her some love as she’s spreading good vibes to women in the outdoor space.

In the meantime, let’s learn a little more about her:

Addy Jacobsend

Skiing is my favorite outdoor activity (but mountain biking is a close second).

Playing games with friends or family! I especially love Phase 10.

If you could describe the last year of your life in one word what would it be?

Incredible! I have had so many amazing opportunities come my way in the last year. I was able to travel, make new friends, and have so much fun!

My favorite place to visit is Crested Butte Colorado! The mountains are insane, the people are the amazing, it is insanely beautiful, and the mountain biking trails are so sick!

What piece of gear do you always have to bring on a trip?

Hats and beanies are essential for managing crazy adventure hair. 2. Merino wool base layers for skiing and/or camping. My favorite are Kari Traa. 3. My Kula Cloth for going pee on the side of the road or in the backcountry. (Ladies if you don’t have one yet you NEED one)

Who are some of your adventure buddies?

I always love skiing and mountain biking with a rad crew of lady shredders! But, my husband Mason is my #1 adventure buddy.

Roadtrips or Flights? 

Road-trips! That way you can bring all the gear and see beautiful places along the way.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Crested Butte Colorado is THE BEST. I am also a huge fan of camping and riding bikes in Virgin Utah!
