Craig Murray's Winter Speaker Series

In addition to the prestige that has followed his appearances in films by Matchstick Productions, Craig was also honored to become the ASB Otago Sportsman of the Year in 2020, rising from a fringe sport to the same acclaim as his country’s greatest rugby players and Olympians. At the end of the day, he says his sister is still cooler than he is—the humble stamp of a true Kiwi.

From competitive freeride skiing to remote mountain expeditions, Craig Murray's career has taken him around the world in pursuit of adventure, progression and achievement. But what drives that pursuit? Is it curiosity, excitement, ego, or something else entirely? Through wild stories and experiences from his life in the mountains, Craig wonders about what's behind his chase, the uncertainty that comes with following the unknown, and the people and moments that ultimately stay with us.

Help us keep these free events free! Our events team is comprised of four individuals that work tirelessly to continuously improve our events and increase our nonprofit fundraising. We're not exaggerating when we say that no specialty retailer in the world does what we do - big or small, corporate or independent. And for good reason: a year-round calendar of free events is a taxing proposition for any business.

Our team pulls out all the stops to work with partner brands and organizations to fund each event, which allows them to remain free to the community. However, events such as the Winter Speaker Series have become so big and expensive that this model still stretches our finances thin.

As such, we're hoping to make an appeal to YOU, our community, to help us offset the cost of the Winter Speaker Series. Whether you have been to one show or nearly all of them, we would be ever so grateful if you would consider supporting our free community events with a small contribution.
