Kimmy Fasani

This week, Kendra sits down with snowboarding icon Kimmy Fasani for a deeply personal conversation. Kimmy shares her journey from learning to ride as a child to competing at the highest levels and later shifting her focus toward mentorship and backcountry exploration. After facing a challenging battle with cancer and embracing motherhood, she found herself drawn back to the mountains, rediscovering her strength and reconnecting with what she loves most. A surprise trip to Baldface Lodge became a turning point, reminding her that snowboarding was never about podiums, but about the grounding power of snow, community, and resilience.
