The weather may be doing some goofy stuff as of late (did you catch that #snowboard lingo?), but there’s one place conditions are almost always consistently ideal: the slopes. And we’re craving some fluffy white cold stuff right about now, because January and February are something of a sweet spot. The ski tourists had their fun over the holidays, and it’s the right time for those of us who want to chill among the pros. Want a glimpse into how the raddest girls are spending their mountain moments? Here are our five favorite skiers and boarders.
Kimmy Fasani is shredding professionally for team Burton, but it seems every day takes her on a new physical adventure. Oh, and did we mention she’s part-owner of the very delicious Mimi’s Cookie Bar in her hometown Mammoth Lakes? Girl knows what’s up.
The blonde board pro has recently retired from competition—2014’s X Games were her last—but she’s still carving in Aspen. The upside of her “retirement”? We get to see what she really does all day, from how she brews her morning coffee to her yoga and hiking adventures.
This is a girl who lays in the snow in a bikini, then hops up and skis down the slope. Oh, and she Instagrams it, so we get to see scenes like this and more all day long. Last December, she released an hour-long film documenting her globetrotting—get a sneak peek here. You will be inspired (and maybe a little jealous) by her life as a ski pro, a model, and a general badass
They say the best gift you can give is the gift of knowledge, and skier Lynsey Dyer doesn’t just teach—she opened up She Jumps, a whole non-profit operation dedicated to getting girls up and moving. Proof that she lives a life as beautiful off duty? Her snaps of her pup, camping trips, and behind-the-scenes moments on shoots.
Julia’s a cold-weather Olympic champ with a serious thing for the beach. Her feed has as many balmy surf shots as it does snowcapped mountains, but the common theme is her energy and good vibes. #nevernotsmiling.
