Welcome
I really started The Outdoor Gems to share outdoor experiences through photography and storytelling to inspire more people to get outside. If more people got outdoors; took a walk, hike, went snowboarding, sat around a campfire, and surfed in the ocean, I think the world would be a better place.

Greatest Places to Go
Taking a Ski or Snowboard trip to Vail Colorado, Everything you should know
Known as the largest ski resort in Colorado, and the 5th largest in North America, riding a mountain such as Vail will open your eyes to a whole new world of what winter can look like for skiing and snowboarding. Known for their back bowls, this magical place, that drives tourists and employees from all over the world each season to enjoy the outdoor playground that Vail has become. I first rode Vail after a surprise snow storm..
Best Late Fall Hikes in Colorado
Fall is honestly one of the best seasons in Colorado. Prices drop…
Meet Jeremiah
Growing up, I loved being outside. I took a lot of cool trips with my family, whether it was camping, going to the beach, road trips, and national parks. Even though I didn’t fully appreciate those experiences at the time, as I got older I started getting more into the outdoors and traveling, reconnecting with my past. The feeling of traveling or going somewhere new always seems to give a sense of excitement or adventure.
Snowboarding and boardsports in general have been a passion of mine for over 20 years. I always loved the culture that came with it; from local retail shops to magazines and videos, to riding with friends as well as geeking out on the latest gear, it’s all part of the experience. After working in snowboard/outdoor gear shops for the past decade along with traveling to different outdoor places, I decided to put all of that experience in digital form to inspire and connect with other people.
