Hadley Hammer is a pro skier on the Freeride World Tour with a very appropriate last name. Growing up in Jackson, WY, Hadley was brought up in the mountains, spending all her time chasing her brothers around the Tetons. While a pro skiing career consumes much of her time, Hadley is also a sommelier and gourmet chef. She attended quite possibly the best school in this nation, University of New Hampshire (Ben's alma mater, hence the bias), and received a B.A. in hospitality and a minor in economics.
I found that anyone I could chase and keep up with enough was a great way to keep improving.

With a light, nimble and fun feel, the Pandora’s geometry makes it even easier to surf pow while maintaining plenty of control on firm snow. It’s her turn to get first tracks. We’ve applied over a decade of our best powder ski technology into the completely re-designed Pandora ski. It has plenty of Early Rise for an easy to handle surfy feel in powder while maintaining plenty of deep sidecut & a reliable flex for unprecedented control on firm snow. This is by far the most fun, playful, easiest to handle ski in the powder and surprisingly everywhere else on the mountain.
