Ski mountaineer talk celebrates Wilderness Act
September 2, 2014
鈥淲hy didn鈥檛 I bring my skis?鈥 That鈥檚 what Kit DesLauriers thought to herself when she visited the Himalayas in 1998. That realization was life-changing. Then and there, Kit set her focus on ski-mountaineering and refining her skills so she could ski anything, anywhere in the world.
DesLauriers is the first person to ski off the highest point on each of the seven continents. Come hear her story at 7 p.m. Sept. 3, in 性欲社 Davis Concert Hall. .
The event is free to the public, and the first 200 people will receive a museum-quality poster of DesLauriers.
This event celebrates the Wilderness Act鈥檚 50th anniversary and is hosted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service and University of Alaska Fairbanks.
