A Word from Mattie Schuler
After growing up in Wisconsin, I decided to head to the University of Missouri to pursue a career in journalism. I quickly followed that up with an internship at Outside Magazine in Santa Fe, NM. Within a few weeks of exploring the area with other interns, I realized that the outdoorsy, adventure life was for me. For the previous 10 years, I have lived in Boulder, Colorado. My writing focuses on outdoor adventure, hiking, snowboarding, health and wellness, running, solo travel, and more. When I’m not writing or in the mountains, I run an early childhood Forest School program where I get to teach kids the importance of nature, adventure, and why getting outside is so much fun.
The DC Mora BOA women’s snowboard boots are made for the more advanced rider who needs that added stiffness and protection when cruising through powder.
