Megan Michelson’s Biography

I'm my own boss, a freelance writer, based in Tahoe City, California. I’m a correspondent for Outside Magazine, a senior correspondent for Powder Magazine, an editor-at-large for Backcountry Magazine, a contributing editor for REI's Co-Op Journal, and a regular contributor to publications like the San Francisco Chronicle, Red Bulletin, Men's Journal, and more. I’ve written features about the housing crisis in mountain towns, the murder of my stepdad at a remote kayak lodge, and the woman turning Google into a green giant. Along the way, I’ve interviewed athletes like Mikaela Shiffrin, Alex Honnold, and Lolo Jones.

I also write stories and create authentic, credible content for brands, many in the ski and outdoor industry and beyond.
