Anneka Williams is a writer and climate scientist originally from Vermont’s Mad River Valley. Anneka grew up roaming around New England’s trails and trying to keep up with the “big kids” on ski lines at Mad River. She has since pursued adventures and work all over the world, including the mountains of Chilean Patagonia, the Bhutanese Himalaya, the streets of Copenhagen, the trails of the French Alps, the Alaskan tundra, and the Andean paramo. When she’s not writing, Anneka can usually be found backcountry skiing, trail running, rock climbing, or snacking on chocolate-covered espresso beans somewhere in the mountains.
