Kit DesLauriers is the first person to climb and ski from the tops of the highest mountains on every continent. Her project took two years and she’s written a book about the entire thing called Higher Love: Skiing The Seven Summits. She was named a 2015 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, and perhaps more impressive, Kit DesLauriers is the 100th episode of MTNmeister.
Climbing and skiing is my dance. It's my lens for viewing and learning the lessons in life.
