Moretown, Vermont's Brian Mohr and Emily Johnson live a remarkable life.
Photographers and outdoor enthusiasts, they travel the world in search of beautiful and remote spots - to experience and capture the beauty of the land and the people of this diverse and remarkable planet on which we live.
Their work is embodied in their web site - Ember Photo - where you can get a taste for their work and passion for travel.
And their love for Vermont snow is boundless. Here they are at Mad River Glen enjoying some "foliage skiing" - the first snowfall of the year each season, they head on up to the Glen to ski on the snow and leaves.
Now that's Vermont99 dedication.
We spent a quiet Friday night this week-end with Brian, Emily, and some mutual Mad River Valley friends - stripped down to nothing but our birthday suits in a Jotul wood stove-fired sauna, swapping stories about snow travel and other adventures.
After sweating out the week's work and digging into a Localvore dinner of lamb stew, simple salad, and du vin rouge, we screened a slide show of Ember Photo's adventures to Iceland last spring, including some of the most stunning glacier skiing I've ever seen.
And the best thing about their work?
Perhaps it is this: coming home from a month in central America to find greens growing in their Moretown, Vermont raised bed mini-greenhouses.
Feel the heat - even in a Vermont winter.
Don't miss Brian and Emily's OFF PISTE IN THE NORTHEAST photo exhibit touring around central Vermont in the next few weeks.
And follow their adventures through their Ember Photo blog.
Nice write -up on these two delightful Vermonters who have the spirit and talent of living life in the zone most of us only dream of!
