I got a chance to get in some skiing in Park City, Utah last weekend, and I must say it was great. We did a little testing on the Patagonia Primo jacket, Primo Pants, and R2 jacket. I wanted to share a fun picture of when I ate it in some off run pow.

Live To Explore was originally founded as Adventure Insider in 2008 as an alternative to large adventure travel websites and magazines.

Our original focus of little known Adventure Travel trips remains, but today the primary purpose of Live To Explore is to show great ways anyone can Explore their life.

In the years since AI was founded, our lives have changed dramatically. Maturity, life partners, children, and a better understanding of our short time on this earth have revealed a few truths.
Truth #1: Life is about exploring everything from your local town to the far reaches of the planet.
Truth #2: The simple things, like learning to cook a new dish or the wonders of your local trail, are worthy of exploring and can profoundly effect your life.
Truth #3: Adventure is grand, however living to explore every aspect of your surroundings will change you.

As our adventure of exploration continues, Live To Explore will focus on Outdoor, Food, Family, Travel, and Off-Highway topics. We'll be exploring every step of the way.
