POW staff and athletes have been busy this week racing, riding & running to the mailbox and ballot box to SEND IT! 🙌🏼 📬 🇺🇸
If you're voting absentee, this is your reminder to get your ballot in the mail today!
(Double points if you join our #RaceToThePolls challenge and log your miles on @strava 😉)
Our #linkinbio is where it's at to make a plan to vote if you still need to. 10 days people!
We’re excited to be welcoming split boarder, climber, trail runner, water woman and self-proclaimed minimalist @notlostjustdiscovering to the POW Athlete Alliance! Born in Santa Monica, California, Dani Reyes-Acosta spent the first fifteen years of her life surfing and swimming in the rip currents of LA beaches. It wasn't until years later, after departing a corporate job in Oregon, that she rediscovered her love of the mountains on an extended expedition to South America in 2014. From there she rebuilt her life with the mountains (and all their lessons) at its center.
Dani built her mountain craft through splitboarding, trad climbing, and peak bagging missions on trips through Andorra, Argentina, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and the USA. She states she constantly taps into the work ethic (and boundless energy) of her parents, first and fifth generation lovers of the land who instilled in her a deep love of community.
“Coming from Latina, Asian, and Pacific Islander roots, my communities have historically suffered disproportionately from the environmental impact of decisions made by those who don’t recognize the privilege they yield. We are all on this planet together: it’s time we started acting like it.” Join us in officially welcoming Dani by attending our Send the State Vota!/Vote! Virtual event featuring Dani, host @grahamzimmerman and event partner @latinooutdoors on Wed. 10/28 at 5 pm MST! They’ll lead us through stories of recent adventures and provide insight into their own journeys in climbing. (And of course, speak to the importance of turning out the vote in all communities across the country!) Head to our #linkinbio to sign up!

Our plan today was to share a blog post written by POW staffer @oneill_dm about the #CalWoodFire that recently began in Boulder County, Colorado, this past week, just miles from POW headquarters.
Now, upon this post being published, the #EastTroublesomeFire in Grand County, CO exploded yesterday—burning over 100,000 acres in a single day. The fire has now jumped the 13,000-foot peaks of the Continental Divide and is torching our beloved Rocky Mountain National Park and prompting mandatory evacuations in Estes Park.
As Donny writes, "The 2020 fire season had already painted a terrifying picture of the impacts of the warming climate. The current blazing crises provide full proof that America’s public lands are on the ballot this year. With 50 million members in its ranks, the #OutdoorState has the power to spark significant change by using their voices and votes this fall."
Our thoughts are with everyone in our community who has been impacted by these devastating fires. We are fighting with and for you everyday to ensure this is not our new normal.
