Leanne Pelosi's Winter Speaker Series
Life doesn’t always follow the path we expect—sometimes it zigs when we thought it would zag. In this engaging talk, professional snowboarder and filmmaker Leanne Pelosi shares how she navigated the twists and turns of her journey from transitioning out of a soccer career to pushing boundaries in the backcountry and embracing the duality of motherhood and passion. Through powerful stories of resilience, risk-taking, and community, Leanne offers lessons learned in the mountains that can inspire us all to embrace the unknown, carve our own path, and uplift others along the way.

"This boot fires me up because it has such a great fit, skis so well, walks great, and it's about the lightest boot in its category. To have all those things put together, really makes a standout boot." Alpenglow Sports Ski Buyer Jeff Dostie
