Our Columbia Hike Design team recently completed an alpine hike and snow‑camping trip on Mt. St. Helens. Guided by a professional mountaineering expert, the team gained hands‑on experience in snowshoe travel, avalanche safety, and winter‑camping fundamentals. By testing our products in the elements they’re built for, the team gathered valuable insights that will help us continue improving gear for our customers.
