Kara LaPoint grew up in Truckee, California, where she embraced the “mountain kid” life as fully as possible — skiing, running, hiking, biking, swimming, and exploring her outdoor playground any and every way she could! Today she competes across the world as a professional triathlete and mountain biker, but still takes full advantage of the winter season to return to her roots in both Alpine and cross country skiing, with a special passion for earning her turns. Kara is currently exploring the mountains of Colorado, where her love for outdoor adventures only continues to flourish. She loves sharing those experiences through writing, connecting with others in the outdoor arena, and encouraging more people to get outside and discover adventures of their own.
