He had so much puppy energy — so they moved to the mountains so they could ski all the time. We talked to Courtney about how she uprooted her whole life for her husky, and how freeing skiing is for them both!

00:00We're both very passionate about being in the snow when we ski.
00:11We make eye contact and we just like know what each other is thinking.
00:16We get in this like flow state together.
00:19That is unlike anything I've ever experienced.
00:23Woo! Yeah, buddy!
00:28Why did you both start skiing in the first place?
00:31Loam came into my life after college.
00:35I was living in a city right outside of Boulder, Colorado.
00:39He was such a sweet puppy.
00:42But we hit eight months and I felt like I turned on the lights one morning
00:47and it was a completely different dog.
00:53He just became like the worst little menace you've ever met.
00:58I was doing everything in my power to wrangle him in, right?
01:03Of like taking him to the dog park for an hour before work every morning,
01:07taking him for a walk at my lunch break, and just like nothing was working.
01:12And I got to a point where I was like, okay, we need to move to the mountains.
01:22Come on! Let's go skiing!
01:34I think he loves the companionship that comes with it.
01:37There's not that many activities where your dog gets to exert themselves
01:41and like have that free feeling.
01:44My life isn't just about taking care of me.
01:46It's about taking care of him and making sure that he has what he needs.
01:50I'm going to give him the best life I can possibly give him every single day of his life.
