Kimmy Fasani Presents “Outside Ourselves”
Kimmy Fasani will share her powerful journey of resilience and connection to the outdoors in her talk, Outside Ourselves. A Truckee native and Mammoth Lakes resident, Kimmy will reflect on how the mountains became a sanctuary during life’s challenges, from losing both parents to cancer to overcoming her own health battle. Her story is a testament to the healing power of nature and its ability to teach patience, trust, and determination.

Gear up for the 19th annual Lake Tahoe Backcountry Demo Event on Saturday, January 4, 2025, at Palisades Tahoe (Alpine Meadows). Test the latest backcountry skis, splitboards, telemark equipment, and more from over 30 top brands like DPS Skis, Black Crows, and Dynafit.
