Blair Hensen is changing the way we talk about love and adventure.

This one is all about love.

Occasionally, I'm smitten with an emerging leader who has the potential to make a real difference. Blair Hensen of Open Routes Adventures is one such changemaker.

I've been helping this wilderness guide-turned-therapist build the foundation of a business that melds her two passions, and this summer she's launching backcountry trips for couples who want to strengthen their bond intentionally.

And today, just in time for Valentine's Day, Blair had a story published in Ski Magazine, all about the importance of rethinking how we travel in the backcountry with our loved ones.

I'm proud of you, Blair! Big things to come!!!
