Cross Currents: Laura Hadar and Nicky Anastas

Laura Hadar was a professional freeride snowboarder for a decade until she retired in 2015. Now, she aims to become the first woman to ride all of Colorado’s 14,000 foot peaks on a splitboard.  

She and her partner, Nicky Anastas, have reached the top of 21 of those peaks so far.  They have 37 left to go.  

They talked with Cross Currents host Christin Kay about what's driving Laura to set this record.
