Maddie Crowell’s connection to the mountains began on Hastings Mesa, where she was on skis by age two and quickly drawn to big terrain and bigger challenges. That early passion carried her from competitive ski racing into the backcountry, guiding on Denali, leading trekking trips in the Alps, and developing a reputation as a skilled, grounded mountain professional. Today, she serves as the Director of Snow Safety for Telluride Helitrax and a Certified Ski Guide with the American Mountain Guide Association. She has guided in a range of disciplines and also has taught avalanche education for the Silverton Mountain Club. Maddie is a Salomon Ski Ambassador and has built a career  on curiosity, competence, and a deep commitment to safe, meaningful mountain travel.

Kim grew up with snow in her veins and skis on her feet. As the child of passionate skiers, she spent her early years believing life revolved around three things: skiing, playing outside, and the never ending list of chores. That love of the mountains carried her through college in the early ’90s, where she worked in the ski industry before joining the Telluride Ski Patrol in 1999. In 2004, Kim transitioned to ski guiding and patrolling at Silverton Mountain, where she continues to work today. Her career also takes her to the Chugach Mountains of Alaska as a heli-ski guide where she celebrated her 20th season last year. Over the years, she has guided for Warren Miller Entertainment and a variety of independent film crews, and spent a decade mountaineering on Denali. When she’s not working, you’ll find Kim adventuring somewhere high in the mountains, usually with her Bernese Mountain Dog, Oliver, in tow, or laughing with friends on the river.

My name is Neilly Busch, I am a freeride skier who has dedicated my life to progressing in the mountains. I competed in freeride throughout high school and since have become a sponsored athlete, while also spending the past four years coaching competitive high school skiers. Coaching has given me a deeper perspective on the sport, not only as performance, but as a space for growth, confidence, and resilience. I am currently working toward my dream of becoming a professional film skier, blending creativity and athleticism on snow. I hope to inspire collegiate women skiers to trust their own paths, work hard, and pursue their passion with confidence, both on and off the mountain.
