Dadventures: The origin story

Road Trips Lifestyle Family Travel Ski and Snow

Skier, wakeboarder, and all around adventure madman Wade Holland learned from the best, his dad. So when it came time for Wade’s latest trek through the wild West, he decided to take his dad up on a little old school versus new school excursion they called Dadventures.

Picking up a new Airstream Basecamp, they road tripped Nevada’s Lake Tahoe Loop, stopping along the way at places Wade’s mom and dad used to ski and explore when they first met back in the 1970s. They also visited Virginia City, where the Hollands’ ancestry goes back generations to the original 19th-century hard rock miners who mined the largest silver strike in history.

Join us on this epic throwback tour that would make both Warren Miller and Henry Comstock proud.
