Meet Meeowtaineer: Aspen Local who hits the slopes

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nicole Twohig and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nicole, what is the most important factor behind your success?
I find that we are successful for three reasons. First, we have found a unique niche – there are not many skiing cats. Two, we are genuine – we are just being us. Lastly, we are consistent.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?

Meowtaineer is an adventure cat brand that hopes to inspire others to get outside, explore the world, and make lasting memories with their cats. We use our social media platform to make others smile and share how capable and incredible cats are.

We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about.

We are so proud of our sweet and loving kitty, Petra. She is an extremely adventurous cat. From backcountry skiing in the winter to paddling, hiking, and camping in the summer, she really does it all. We are so grateful to have a little creature that loves getting out there as much as we do.

What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way?

Cats interact with the world differently than other pets. They have an incredible sense of awareness and curiosity. We have learned that the key to adventuring safely with your cat is to have an incredibly trusting relationship, the right gear, a great amount of patience, and a focus on the journey, not the destination.

What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?

There are negative stereotypes surrounding cats, particularly about them not being as “cool” or capable as dogs. We want others to know with the right mindset, cats make incredible adventure buddies. Go follow our page and see how amazing cats are! 🙂

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
In Aspen, Colorado, during the winter, our itinerary would be (with our cat, obviously):

– Wake up early to skin up Ajax to get breakfast at Bonnie’s
-Head over to Highland to ski the Bowl
-Have a packed lunch at picnic point
– Apres ski at Highlands Ale House
-Once the kitty goes to bed (😂), we would head to Belly Up to listen to live music.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Huge shout out to our family members who support us in every way!
