Leif Bergstrom Bio:
“I have been skiing nearly my whole life and it has progressively grown into my favorite way to access the mountains. I grew up skiing with my family and racing nordic for the Teacup team. Then I got into ski mountaineering and skimo racing and that has been my focus lately. I have been trying to progress to higher peaks and more committing lines. I am really excited to be moving to Annecy, France to attend University of Mont Blanc in their outdoor sports design program.”
Sam Wiley Bio:
Sam Wiley – Mountain Athlete and Filmmaker
“I grew up in Hood River Valley, and from a young age I’ve spent as much time as possible playing outside. Tromping around in the woods has turned into setting a great skin track and I’ve graduated from climbing backyard trees to the biggest rocks I can find. I love movies, and I have spent the past few years learning to make them.
Fun fact: I live in a minivan that can’t reverse. It’s turned me into a forward-thinker.
Athletes I admire: Walter Burkhardt, Damian Lillard, Hazel Findlay”
