What to do when the seasons begin to change but the snow has yet to fall? Here's a look at what TEAM CLIF BAR athletes Chris Benchetler and Kimmy Fasani did with some of their "idle" time. Thanks for the inspiration! Take it away, Chris.

Last week I received a call from my friend Julien (thanks for the pics!) telling me that there was a good west-northwest swell heading towards the coast. Because I was long overdue for some surf, Kimmy Fasani and I packed up the truck super last

You've read some tales and seen some stills, but nothing quite illustrates the adventure that Eric Porter took to Alaska a couple of months back like this short video created by Don Hampton of DH productions. Big thanks to Eric and Don for going big and sharing this gem with the good people of Clif Bar and beyond.

When Drew LaPlante and Alex Biale reached out to Clif Bar back in the late spring, we here at Clif had no idea about what kind of summer style adventure they were soon to be embarking on. Judging from the adventures they have along their journey to date, it sounds like it's been a great one; and never shy for food or frivolity to keep the routes a flowing. Chalked full of fun and endless enthusiasm, this dynamic duo has had one heck of road trip. Check out their tales from the road and look to these cats to inspire some additional adventures of your own before the seasons start to turn. Big ups to Drew and Alex for sharing the Clif love along the way! Keep on sending boys. We'll see you upon your return.

When TEAM CLIF BAR snowboarder extraordinaire Kimmy Fasani recently reached out to share a bit of what she was up to last winter (and the results of all her incredible hard work hiking, shoveling, filming, riding and flying) we here at Clif Bar HQ could not believe our eyes. Not only is Kimmy going bigger than most of the guys out there, but she's doing it in mad style with her great big, contagious smile along the way. Kimmy's most recent work comes to life as one of the featured female riders in this year's release from Standard Films. Kimmy shares a bit of the adventure of her experience on this project below. Last season I was given an opportunity to work with the world famous Standard Films, one of the most highly respected snowboard film companies in the industry. The day I was asked to be part of this project I was speechless.

It's not as though most of us think of summer as a time to sharpen the edges and pack up the winter back-country gear, but when you are Forrest Shearer and part of the crew running with Sweetgrass Productions, that's exactly what you do. Forrest recently had a chance to join the Sweetgrass (who took the amazing photos in this post) posse down in Argentina to work on the next highly anticipated release from the creators of Signatures. Clif Bar couldn't be more stoked to have Forrest as part of TEAM CLIF BAR and to be working in partnership with Sweetgrass on the next production to come. Have a read below to get a sense for some of what Forrest was up to on his journey south. Just got back from Las Lenas to film for the new Sweetgrass production, sponsored by Patagonia and Clif Bar. Las Lenas is the mecca for big mountain riding in South America. If you've never been, I highly recommend it.
