About Nova

The Mountain Dog

Nova isn't your average trail dog. She's a mountain athlete — the kind of dog who reads terrain better than most humans, who finds the efficient line through talus fields, and who leads the way up ridgelines with a confidence that makes you wonder if she was a mountain goat in a past life.

Based in Washington State, Nova's home range is the Cascade Range — from the valleys around Leavenworth to the glaciated peaks of the North Cascades. She's currently going viral for her insane big mountain freeskiing, but this site is about the foundation: the thousands of feet of elevation she's earned on four paws.

This project is Nova's legacy — a record of every adventure and a way to share what she's learned in the mountains with others who want to explore these incredible places.
