Holy moly, what a year! We had over 45 different Mappy Hour’s in 11 cities throughout North America AND 1,509 outdoor enthusiasts (read: you!) joined us IN PERSON to hear from inspiring speakers and find adventure buddies.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

We also had people from 3 different chapters join together for a ski trip<\/a> in April, made a brand spankin’ new Mappy Hour T,<\/a> and got a pretty awesome shout-out in Outside Mag.<\/a><\/p>\n

HIGH FIVES\u00a0 to our chapter leaders and pop-up hosts who made these events (see the oh-so-awesome list below) possible including:<\/p>\n
