It happened!! The event I've been clueless about, yet talking about constantly, happened!
The Columbia Omnigames in Park City Utah brought together the crews from Omniten Seasons 1, 2, 3 and 4 to compete in Olympic-style (more like Hunger Games style) events, see first hand the US, Russian and Canadian Olympic Ski uniforms, and do some all-in #TryingStuff with brand new Columbia technology.
There is so much to tell - so it's going to come in waves. The most important thing, however, is that this trip was COMPLETELY successful due to the amazing people that crafted it and that attended it as well. Here is a little bit of the mayhem...

On the very first day we were split into teams of two. I was paired with the super awesome, super badass and SUPER classy Ann Driggers. Ann blogs for a newspaper and is constantly posting photos of herself shredding the gnar, or running uphill.
I couldn't have asked for a better partner. We dubbed ourselves Team #MoreCowbell...
We spent the day crashing through the snow, shooting things and setting things on fire (Clearly this was my kind of day).
Day 1 was brought to a stunning close with an invite to the VIP tent at the qualifying freestyle ski comp at the Utah Olympic Park.

Most hit the sack early to be in top shape for Day 2: High Ropes and Skiing!

At the beautiful Canyons resort in Park City Utah. I didn't die. #win #tryingstuff
The fun didn't stop there...
After skiing and swinging in the air we went to the Fall 2014 fashion show.

Not in the Fall 2014 line, but it should be...

But the best part was later...

More friends and fun.
Trying stuff means so much more than what you do, it's a way of living. It is pushing yourself to take your life farther away from what you are used to - and because of that - closer to what you want.
And finally - the BIG news is that the top 5 scoring teams that competed in the #omnigames shenanigans will get to go to Jordan with Columbia this April!
Jordan is the home of Petra, where Lawrence of Arabia was filmed, has amazing rock climbing and hiking, the Dead Sea and three different bio zones: Mediterranean, Irano-Turanian, and Saharo-Arabian.
More awesome people, more #tryingstuff - this time in one of the most exotic desert countries on Earth.
The winners haven't been announced yet, and won't be until we are all done sharing our stories. So stay tuned, because Team #MoreCowbell has lots in store!

That's me lying suggestively on a camel. Sortof. Basically it's how I'd sit when I go to Jordan.
