The summer issue of Tahoe Quarterly is on stands; it’s hard to miss with all those dogs—7 golden retrievers!—on the cover. Be sure to flip to page 26 first to read my profile on the Sherpettes, a backcountry porter service started by the lovely Jeni Lammerding. Helping women and families access the backcountry is their MO… such an inspired and fun way to work. I hope I can become a Sherpette one day!
