LEGENDS

Fifty years ago, the world was a harsher, more primitive placeโ€”at least in terms of adventure sports. Think for a moment about a little route on El Capitan in Yosemite called The Nose. Its slick granite face was difficult for a team of climbers to ascend after weeks of dangerous toil, let alone all-free and in a day. Meanwhile, bicycles of the time didnโ€™t boast suspension forks or disc brakes and surfers couldnโ€™t stay in Northern California waters for longer than a half hour without turning blue. Skiing was still a ballet-like sport best done in stretchy woolens and leather boots, and no one even considered running a marathon, swimming 2.4 miles, and biking 112 miles consecutively while wearing a Speedo.

59th Annual Warren Miller Film Tour

The opening footage of Warren Millerโ€™s 59th annual homage to the global ski lifestyle, โ€œChildren of Winter,โ€ features two Tahoe locals who run an Alaska heli-ski operation, two race-bred Olympians and a converted fishing trawler with a heli pad cruising the Chugach Range of maritime Alaska. The floating foursome picks off virgin big mountain peaks like theyโ€™re shooting ducks at a carnival booth.

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 
โ€œThe massive thing Iโ€™ve recognized through this work is that sports are a byproduct of community,โ€ Tuscany explains. โ€œWe 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 โ€ฆ people.โ€โ

We hope you and yours are having a great holiday season.โ 
โ 
๐Ÿ“†As we near the end of 2022, here are some highlights by our contributing editor Matt Johanson โ€” pictured here. โ 
โ 
๐ŸŽ‰ 2022 saw the pandemic recede, wildfires decrease and outdoor recreation dramatically improve as a result. โ 
โ 
๐ŸŒˆ California opened the door to increased outdoor opportunities by committing $57 million for underprivileged people in 125 communities. โ 
โ 
๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿผ 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 
๐Ÿ•๏ธ โ€œThese 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

Regular ASJ contributor Krista Houghton has always been on the lookout for trash on her outdoor adventures. ๐Ÿžโ 
โ 
This past year, sheโ€™s 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. ๐Ÿก โ 
โ 
Imagine the good vibes and clean public places if we all followed Kristaโ€™s example! ๐Ÿ’“โ
