Kit DesLauriers

Kit DesLauriers' mother used to ask her when she was going to do something the easy way. In October of 2006, Kit became the first person ever to ski from the top of the highest point on each continent, and the answer to her mother's question now seems apparent—never! Kit spent almost 10 years living in the Telluride area, and it was during these formative years that she gained a true sense of where she was headed, always toward her own dreams. During a ski expedition to Siberia in 1999, she met her husband–to-be Rob DesLauriers and moved with him to the base of the Tetons in Wyoming. Kit is a two-time World Freeskiing Tour Women’s Champion and a sponsored athlete working for The North Face. Above all, she is someone who embraces possibilities—regardless of gender, age or social norms.
