Michelle Parker's "A Shift in Perspective"

One of freeskiing's most recognizable and in-demand talents, Michelle Parker feels most at home when tackling big mountain terrain. 2022 marked the 20th season of Michelle Parker's professional skiing career, and year after year, a desire to learn and evolve has seen the popular freeskier push the ceiling of the sport.

In her show A Shift In Perspective, Parker will take us on an emotional journey that showed her how time spent with her father was life's biggest gift yet, and how this new perspective helped her succeed on a recent big mountain, Alaskan ski expedition.

Michelle's nonprofit beneficiary is TAMBA.

Elyse Saugstad’s If There’s a Will, There’s a Way

For freeskier Elyse Saugstad, if there’s a will there’s a way. In her years as an outdoorswoman, Elyse has brushed against death, faced mind-numbing fear, and won the respect of her peers in a male-dominated field.

Saugstad’s experiences have given her a unique perspective that is valuable not only to athletes but to anyone who wants to develop their mountain and life instincts, learn how to conquer and use fear to find success, and achieve their goals. Join Saugstad for a funny, honest and down-to-earth presentation about what it means to be a successful woman and mother in the ski industry.

Elyse's nonprofit beneficiary is The Courage Project
