Bev Sklar
This Chicago gal's heart lies in the mountains. An experienced backpacker and lover of rock climbing, Bev is a former Sierra Club National Outings leader who would rather scramble at high altitude than sit on a sandy beach. She and her hiking husband are busily training their two kids on the nuances of camping, hiking and climbing until they're big enough to haul a pack. Beyond the outdoors, Bev is an avid athlete who loves golf, snow skiing, yoga, treadmill fun, resistance training and coaching youth sports.
After a 10-year advertising career, Bev started blogging for That's Fit in 2007, writes occasionally for ParentDish, and is currently working toward a master's degree in elementary/middle school education.
