This shot never made it into a ski movie, yet itâs one of my favorite ski shots because of what it helped me understand about skiing.
This line, in a zone called Velvet Curtain with @chugachpowderguides, was intimidating with several rollovers and a bergshrund at the exit, but I knew the snow was good. I was psyched to ski it.
I dropped in the turns felt easy, the spine naturally guiding me where I wanted to go. At one point, I slowed down over a rollover but then could see my exit and found a slough-free runout. Skiing out the bottom, I was exhilaratedâIâd finally skied a line I had dreamed about for years!
I found out a few months later that the line didnât make the movie. I wondered why, but ultimately the editor makes the movie and sometimes the line doesnât fit. At the time I was disappointed, but by the time the following winter rolled around, I saw things differently.
I realized that what mattered is that I wanted to ski the line and I skied itâthatâs all. The feeling I had at the bottom of the line skiing out was mine, and it didnât matter if anyone else ever saw it or not.
It reminded me of why I had set out to ski big lines in the first place: simply because it was something I wanted to accomplish and a challenge to work towards. Over the years, skiing professionally, at times itâs been easy to get caught up in external factors like what others think or expect of me.
However, the second half of my career, after losing people I love, recovering from injuries, becoming a parent, and other life changes, Iâve been re-learning how to approach skiing from a place of internal motivation, skiing for who I am now and what I want. Itâs this ongoing process of constant learning that keeps me motivated.
Clearly summer has me thinking too much. đ

This is my second run of the 2010 FWT contest at @palisadestahoe. The first run, thankfully not shown, I had been terrified to compete (since I was the one filming with @mspfilms at the time I wanted to show I was worthy!) and had picked a mediocre line and skied it even worse. I was in the back of the pack heading into the second run so I just figured what the heck, Iâll ski something just for fun, just for myself.
I had seen Shane McConkey hit this air, and knew it had a high GNAR score in the Squallywood book by @robbgaffney, of which I had a signed copy and studied nonstop at the time. The rollover is major and intimidating and it took me a while to get down to where I could even see the takeoff, let alone the tiny landing. I tried my best to ignore the crowd and just focus on whether or not I could do this. I took my time and inched down until I knew I had it, took a deep breath, and dropped. The landing was super smooth and felt like I didnât even take offâthe best kind. Thanks to Robb for showing what was possible, in skiing and in life. My memories of Tahoe and this community are so amazing and a huge part of who I am today. â€ïž

For a long time in my ski career, when people I worked with would ask if I wanted to have kids, I would say âIâm not sure, Iâm leaning towards maybe not.â Which wasnât a lie exactly but it wasnât the truth. The truth was that deep down I knew I hoped to have a family one day but I didnât dare admit it to myself, let alone to anyone in the ski industry. To me at that time, something so simple as wanting kids seemed too basic, too predictably feminine, not badass, not hot, totally not cool and definitely career-ending.
Despite being raised by a badass skier mom and knowing lots of other amazing moms who skied (like @jessaktahoe, @jennberg_ and @wendyfisher, to name a few), at that time I couldnât see a viable path for me to be both a mom and a professional skier.
If I could go back in time I would tell this version of myself two things:
âsweet dance moves! sick one-piece! buy some bitcoin & sell it in November of 2021! đ
âlisten to yourself for what you want and go after it. Donât feel like you have to squeeze into preconceived ideas of what is available to you, no matter if itâs cool or not.

If youâre going to sandbag your kids into skiing 20 miles in a day, itâs a good idea to bring lots of snacks and have some pretty excellent destinations as incentives along the way! Oh, and I would recommend doing it in Austria. [ad]
SkiWelt, @skiweltkaiserbrixental, translates literally to Ski World, and the magnitude of the skiing here is unbelievable. We had an absolute blast as a family, working together to navigate the eight incredible ski areas, stopping for fun activities like the on-hill cinema and the witches of Söll, and eating at several of the 80 family-owned on-mountain restaurants.  Â
When Iâm skiing with my family, the journey is the destination. Austria was the absolute most incredible place to experience and we canât wait to get back!

Cramming for fall exams đđđ

What an honor to meet and learn from Gerhart âGertâ Told, founder and ski school pioneer at KaiserKinderland, at @skiweltwilderkaiserbrixental, Austria. He has been skiing for over 78 years and teaching skiing for over 60 years. He created a special kind of learning ski and multiple innovations to help kids play, practice, learn, and enjoy the mountain.  #ad
The pride, care, and thoughtfulness he brings to his work is totally inspirational, and I had some real âahaâ moments listening to him, especially the tip about donât lead with asking if the equipment hurtsâtry to keep it neutral or positiveâthat could have come in handy a few times in the past! Â
Iâm so grateful for our trip to Austria with @visitAustria, the family time and all the ways it helped us all learn and grow.Â

September means Fall is here! This month we sit down with Chris Steinkamp, Executive Director of Mountain Towns 2030, to talk about how mountain communities are becoming the test labs for real climate solutions â from resilient infrastructure to the climate tech actually getting deployed on the ground. Malone also nerds out hard on geothermal energy, because obviously the onsens had to come up. We also break down the Mountain Towns 2030 Summit â Oct 13â14 in Sun Valley, ID â where 600+ people from 80 mountain communities and 50 ski resorts show up to build what's next for climate action in places like ours. Anyone can attend, not just industry â register at mt2030.org. New episode is live now â link in bio to listen or watch.
