Elivate - Invidious

Elivate

Welcome to our aviation lifestyle channel, where general aviation meets real-world adventure. We’re a husband-and-wife pilot team flying our Cirrus SR22T across mountains, deserts, and high density altitude airports, often with our toy and miniature poodles along for the ride.

Our channel showcases personal aviation as a way of life, blending cross-country flying, mountain operations, IFR decision-making, and weather challenges with the freedom of aircraft ownership. We share behind-the-scenes Cirrus ownership, including owner approved DIY maintenance, upgrades, performance insights, and practical lessons learned from real flights.
From flying safely with dogs to navigating the mountains, our goal is to inspire safe, capable, and confident flying both on the ground and in the air.

We also operate a 501(c)(3) nonprofit "Pip’s Rescue Wings" providing life saving transport for at-risk dogs from high kill shelters.

Subscribe and fly along with us as we turn aviation into a way of life!

A cowboy/girl runs like hell on their horse towing a crazy person on ski’s through an obstacle course: They call it Skijoring. Worth a quick weekend stay and a great excuse to fly in to Silverton, Colorado!

At the top of Bald Mountain yesterday, our last run of the day finished off with a glass of petit blanc at Alpino Vino - which sits at 11,966 ft!

Just now - Citation X skids 300 yards during landing at Telluride airport. Initial reports claim a crosswind shoved it off the runway. Treacherous Tellurude. Thankfully everyone is ok!
