2022 was a rough year for our long-time contributor @chrisvanleuven. On the heels of a bike crash injury, his hair started falling out in clumps due to an undiagnosed health condition. Then the unthinkable happened, when his house and most of his belongings burned down in Mariposa Countyโs Oak Fire.โ
โ
In an article in our latest issue, Chris recounts how he was able to โfill his cupโ with climbing, biking and writing through those tough times โ and found himself happy to be โalive and thrivingโ in the Sierra foothills. ๐ง ๐ต ๐ป ๐โ

Roy Tuscany suffered a spinal injury in 2006. After his recovery he founded @hi5sfoundation, a non-profit that has helped hundreds of injured athletes and veterans from across the country. โ
โ
โThe massive thing Iโve recognized through this work is that sports are a byproduct of community,โ Tuscany explains. โWe know that if we can get people back to sport, we can use sport as a vehicle to get them back to community and social interaction. We use sport as a way to integrate people back into โฆ people.โโ

โ
๐As we near the end of 2022, here are some highlights by our contributing editor Matt Johanson โ pictured here. โ
โ
๐ 2022 saw the pandemic recede, wildfires decrease and outdoor recreation dramatically improve as a result. โ
โ
๐ California opened the door to increased outdoor opportunities by committing $57 million for underprivileged people in 125 communities. โ
โ
๐๐ผ The Outdoor Access for All initiative will fund access to nature, outdoor leadership education and career pathways. Thousands of people will experience hiking, camping, kayaking, snowboarding and more as a result. โ
โ
๐๏ธ โThese programs will turn parks into outdoor classrooms, inspiring a new generation of environmental leadership in California,โ said California State Parks Director Armando Quintero.โ

โท๏ธ Brennan Lagasse shares the backcountry magic available at the new Frog Lake Backcountry Huts, where one can enjoy quality mountain comfort together with easily accessible terrain.โ
โ
โ๏ธ "There's something special about the mountain hut experience. The feeling of never leaving the mountains after a long day in the backcountry is something all snow lovers should experience at some point. Luckily for Sierra backcountry users, there's a new hut system to experince north of Tahoe that encapsulates this spirit and then some." โ @stateofthebackcountryโ

Regular ASJ contributor Krista Houghton has always been on the lookout for trash on her outdoor adventures. ๐โ
โ
This past year, sheโs bumped up her efforts โ accompanied by her husband โ by getting out in her own neighborhood with a trash bag and picker. What started as a downer as she made her neighborhood rounds has developed into a sense of pride in caring for the area she lives in. ๐ก โ
โ
Imagine the good vibes and clean public places if we all followed Kristaโs example! ๐โ
