Meet Jim
Jim Morrison is driven by his big aspirations and even bigger heart. Successfully skiing some of the world’s technical and untouched mountains—from Peak Papsura to the Lhoste Couloir. Based in Tahoe City, California, Morrison has spent his entire life skiing and climbing in the Sierra Nevada. In the last decade, Jim’s ski objectives have evolved from annual trips to Chamonix and Canada to climbing and skiing the highest mountains in the world.
When his wife and fellow athlete Hilaree Nelson tragically died in 2022, Morrison made it his mission to celebrate and honor her by living out their lifelong dream. Jim Morrison became the first person to ski Mount Everest’s direct North Face. Watch his historic descent through the lens of fellow The North Face athlete and filmmaker Jimmy Chin in Everest: The Other Side.
The Story Behind Everest: The Other Side
Join athlete Jim Morrison for an intimate conversation about his journey behind Everest: The Other Side. Jim will share the inspiration, challenges, and personal experiences that shaped the film, exploring how the story goes far beyond a ski mountaineering adventure on Everest. At its heart, Everest: The Other Side is a powerful reflection on life, love, loss, and the experiences that drive us forward.

Support FREE events
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.
