"1st time snow camping & it was epic in so many ways!! Killer views of Artist Point in the Baker Mountain Wilderness, sunset & sunrise vibes, snowshoeing, backpacking & beyond cold at night HA. 10/10 would do it again!!" - Mandy

"I went from Oklahoma allllll alone to Porto, Portugal and completed the 170 mile trek of the Camino de Santiago, ending at the cathedral of Santiago De Compostela in Spain. This was my first backpacking trip ever!!!! And honestly probably my first hiking ever too. First time staying in hostels. First time in Portugal and Spain." - Allison

"This was my first summit of Mt Washington in the winter . Temps were -15 at summit and sustained winds 70 mph. I stayed the night at Harvard cabin half way down man. Awesome adventure in my Squak red Alpha Hoodie. LOVE IT!!" - Geeg

"We spent Spring Break driving around the Dakotas and stumbled upon Bear Butte! Bear Butte is a sacred geological formation in South Dakota, known as a laccolith, formed by magma that cooled and hardened beneath the surface, with overlying rock eroding away over time. It is a significant spiritual site for many Native American tribes, who visit for prayer, vision quests, and ceremonies, leaving prayer cloths and bundles on the trees. It had snowed the night before which added a nice slip to the climb up!" - Amanda

"I’d always been intimidated by the Crown King Scramble 50k ultramarathon. It’s 31 miles up 6,800 feet of gain. So I decided to attempt it. After slogging up the final hill thinking I wouldn’t make it to the finish line by the cut off, I cranked out a run for the final two miles and made it with four minutes to spare, defying all my doubts and proving to myself what I’m capable of." - Rachel

"First time hiking Dog Mountain, notorious for its shorter distance but steep climb up. Took on the challenge of covering every trail up and summited 3 times! Had over 9,100 feet of elevation gain which was a record for me!" - Staci

"I went on a bear tour in Homer, Alaska. We landed on a beach in a float plane and hiked out onto the beach. A mom and her 2 cubs approached us (clamming). We kneeled on the beach for an hour, until finally crawling away. Our guide said in 17 years, this was the closest she'd come to." - Brittney

"Still relatively new to bikepacking, this was my 3rd trip and the first in the middle of the winter in the desert. I bought my Squak for this trip, since I needed an active layer that would be good for warmth and layering at night, but wearable while riding. Can't say enough good things about this hoodie, now it's as much of a staple for me around town as it is out on an adventure." - Jack

"...On the last morning, we woke up to one of the rafts missing from the beach, our boat. My buddy had moved the boat up the beach and forgot to tie it off. It floated about 2 miles downriver with my hunting gear, life jackets, and extra food on it...One of the group's more agile members ran down the riverbank for his morning exercise and found the raft bobbing against some rocks. He came back with our life jackets, and we hopped onto other boats until we were reunited with our vessel...It was a great trip, one we hope to do again in a couple of years." - Geoff

"My wife, my daughter, and I went out for snowshoeing after a day of heavy snow. It just to be the 4th anniversary of my dad's passing, whose dream was to do something active like this with me and my siblings. He wasn't able to do it with disability. The snowshoeing trip with my family reminded me of what my dad would've liked. It's like carrying out his dream." - Harry

"First time going down to New River Gorge and exploring some cave systems there! Went with my besties (we're all experienced cavers) & explored a few miles into a cave! Had many other cool adventure in the NRG area too!" - Tina

"Eli is 2.5 and it's his first season skiing. Our goal was to make the experience as fun as possible. This entailed cookies on the chairlift, monster trucks in the lodge and of course snowboard sled rides (because walking is so not fun)." - Derek

"After months and months of applying for the lottery, my husband and I finally won a permit to hike Angel’s Landing! Such a unique trail" - Bailey

"I had a morning of solo snowboarding and successfully did an ungroomed black diamond trail after the UP of Michigan got 2 feet of snow this past weekend! My quads are sore." - Emma

"...I don’t consider myself a risky person and learning to snowboard has proven to me that I can do anything I set my mind to. It’s helped me gain so much confidence! If you look closely, you’ll see me wearing my Squak as my favorite mid-layer! :-)" - Katie

"First time touring! Had an asthma attack or two but survived other than that." - Katie

"This was our first time down Hells Canyon! We rafted, sang, got rained on, had the coldest and the hottest conditions all in the same hour! This picture is us enjoying the coffee and the view!" - Allison

"My friends and I multi-pitched Big Slide in the Adirondacks for the first time! It was two pitches of sport and one of trad climbing. The climb topped out at the summit of Big Slide, and it was super exciting to do this for the first time after hearing about it a few years ago!" - Lillian
