Brock B. – Alumni Blog
Overcoming Challenges – Xterra Race By Brock B. I will start by saying that I never thought I would complete a triathlon. In fact, before I moved to Carbondale, I had never even been on a mountain bike. I remember during my intake at Jaywalker lodge, I expressed my concern about […]
Pat S Celebrates 6

The Moab expedition has always been my favorite. I’ll never forget my first time there when I was a client in the Lodge. I had never been to Utah before, so I had no idea what to expect. I remember seeing nothing but empty fields once we crossed the border into Utah and I was […]

Mother nature reminded us that winter was in fact alive and well by dropping four feet of snow on us in the last 7 days. Happy Shredding!
