MAD MISSION: NINJAS ON SNOWBOUND TRAILS
THERE’S NO BETTER WAY TO EMBRACE WINTER RUNNING THAN WITH SNOW. AND ALTHOUGH THERE ARE LESS OPPORTUNITIES IN AUSTRALIA THAN IN NEW ZEALAND TO HIT THE SNOWYCOVERED TRAILS FOR YOUR DAILY DOSE OF RUNNING, THERE ARE LOTS MORE FACTORS TO CONSIDER – ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE AN AUSSIE ABROAD. KATE ALLMAN RECENTLY FOUND HERSELF EXPLORING THE SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS IN THE AMERICAN STATE OF COLORADO, WHERE TRAIL RUNNING THROUGH SNOW AT HIGH ALTITUDE BROUGHT WITH IT A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF CHALLENGE. SHE TESTED HER METTLE AND ALONG THE WAY, MET THE WILD LOCAL RUNNERS WHO GAVE HER ALL THE INFO SHE NEEDED. WORDS: KATE ALLMAN IMAGES: KATE ALLMAN, JONATHAN CHAVES
