It\u2019s freedom in its purest and most simple form,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, like many things in life, what you originally set out to do isn\u2019t always where you end up. It\u2019s the unexpected adventures along the way that create the true magic. There\u2019s so much more to this passion than just the climb or the ski, there are the human connections created along this journey that have been some of the deepest and most profound friendships of my life. There is also tragedy. The mountains are both majestic and fierce. They give so much and they take so much,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Nelson, who is survived by her 15 and 13-year-old sons, who were staying with her ex-husband in Colorado while she was traveling, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/sports-illustrated\/2020\/02\/06\/lhotse-skiing-jim-morrison-hilaree-ne\">Sports Illustrated<\/a> in 2020, \u201cI tell myself a lot that the risks I take and the places I go are eventually good for my kids, and that they\u2019re learning about their mom as an individual, too, as a person seeing that I have a passion and I\u2019m in tune with that in living a life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The body of the one of the most famous female ski mountaineers in the world was found on Wednesday after she had disappeared falling into a crevasse on Manaslu in Nepal, the world\u2019s eighth-highest mountain.
