Episode 21 - Ted & Christy Mahon The Fine Line Podcast: Balancing Hedonism & Health
-
- Health & Fitness
If you have long dreamt of leaving it all behind to move to the mountains to pursue an outdoor lifestyle, this episode might make you finally do just that! Ted and Christy Mahon have made outdoor adventures their lives.
Christy, born and raised in Colorado, grew up skiing and playing in the Rockies. After moving to Aspen in 1998, she began her love of ski mountaineering, trail running, and traveling to visit the world’s most iconic peaks. After starting her career in the art world, she now works for ACES - Aspen Center for Environmental Studies. Ted moved from New York to Aspen in 1994 to ski “for a season” and never looked back. He finished climbing all the 14ers in 2001 (he has 396 14er summits under his belt, to be exact!), the Centennials in 2006, and became the third person to ski the 14ers in 2008.
They are unique in that they are not only mountaineering partners, but also life partners, and we discuss that dynamic - both the advantages and disadvantages (hint: very few). We discuss how fitness has changed for them as they age, how Ted got through a debilitating hip issue to come out stronger, and hear great stories about their many adventures.
