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

JWL Moab Expedition
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 […]
4 Feet
After a near record setting drought in January and most of February, most of us thought winter was over. 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!
