The polar vortex that hit Canada last week reporte The polar vortex that hit Canada last week reportedly sent the entire country below freezing at the same time. It would have been a great weekend to be an ice climber! Maybe I’ll consider taking it up next year.

I ran my first 50 miler in a borrowed pair of Salomon Sense Ultras way back in 2013, after the other brand of shoes I’d planned on wearing fell apart right before the race. Salomon’s products have been an integral part of all my adventures ever since. #salomonsquad #timetoplay
