UAC Podcast - A Conversation with Sarah Carpenter

Drew Hardesty
Forecaster
Sarah Carpenter, picture here with husband Don, is a co-owner of the American Avalanche Institute.  She teaches avalanche courses to both recreationists and professionals and loves sharing her excitement about the winter environment with others.  Sarah also works as a ski guide in the Tetons.  She lives in Victor, ID with her husband, Don, in a house they built together (with a lot of help).  She says her favorite place to ski is in wild, remote places with people that she cares about.  "I truly love powder skiing and you can typically find me by following the laughter as I ski downhill."
Other notes from Sarah - 
I love to paint with watercolors.  I love to sew.  I make calendars with my artwork every year instead of holiday cards.
I love to packrat, bike pack, explore wild places.  And try as I might, I can’t keep up with Don Carpenter.  But he inspires me to dream big because he dreams so big.
