Alpenglow Winter Speaker Series: Kimmy Fasani
OLYMPIC VALLEY, CA – Join Kimmy Fasani, a professional snowboarder and survivor of stage three breast cancer, at 7:00 p.m. January 2 as she shares her profound connection to the outdoors and the ways it has shaped her resilience. The event is the first of the 2025 Alpenglow Winter Speaker Series events and will be held at Olympic Village Events Center, 1901 Chamonix Pl, Olympic Valley, CA.
“A Truckee, CA native who resides in Mammoth Lakes with her husband Chris Benchetler, Kimmy will discuss how through her personal life’s peaks and valleys—losing both parents to cancer, enduring childhood abuse, facing her own health battle, while balancing motherhood and her career— she has found the mountains to be both a sanctuary and a teacher,” reads the invitation.
