Hey Guys, Ashley here. I will be back soon with more episodes. I'm going to call it season 5. But I wanted to give you a recap on season 4.Season 4 of Beyond the Mountains took us higher, deeper, and further than ever before — exploring the edge of adventure, the heart of creativity, and the soul of mountain living.We kicked off with Giulia Monego, a big mountain skier and one of the few fully certified female mountain guides in Chamonix. From her beginnings in Venice to conquering steep lines and studying osteopathy, Giulia reminded us that growth lives outside the comfort zone.I have to meet Giula in person. Maybe I'll drive to Chamonix and try climbing with her.Then came Steph Davis, a legend of vertical adventure. A master of both rock and air, Steph shared how classical piano, literature, and BASE jumping all collide in her pursuit of freedom — and how fear, when faced, becomes fuel. I just wish I had better audio for this interview. This was a person I really wanted to impress; she is such an inspiration. I highly recommend her book. Learning to Fly: An Uncommon Memoir of Human Flight, Unexpected Love, and One Amazing DogWe shifted gears with Jay Sweet, music visionary and Executive Director of Newport Folk Festival, and one of the creative forces behind Floki Studios in Iceland. From the blues to the backcountry skiing, Jay showed us how Iceland’s remote peaks and silence unlock creativity, and how being present is the greatest act of rebellion.I could have listened to more stories from Jay. Maybe one day I'll get to Floki studios in Iceland and see a trollFinally, we sat down with Chris Price, architect and founder of KLIMA. Based in the mountains of Utah, Chris designs homes that breathe with the land — sustainable, strong, and soulful. His work proves that building in harmony with nature isn't just possible — it’s essential.One day I hope to have my own eco friendly has inspired by Chris.Each episode ended with our Beyond the Mountains Questionnaire, giving you a playful glimpse into our guests’ true mountain character.
