Join North Face Athletes Kasha Rigby and Hilaree O’Neill as they tell 
of their transformation from lift service skiers to mountaineers who 
have traveled to some of the most remote corners of the globe.  These 
two women, over the course of the past five years have gone from 
strangers living on separate continents to inseparable friends. 
Presently, their goals are shifting from not only attaining their 
personal best in the mountains but to giving their best back to the 
countries that have provided an unexpected life of adventure and 
passion.

Over the years, these two women have traveled to over 40 different 
countries and been on more than 20 major expeditions, both together and 
separately. In this presentation, the focus will be on expeditions to 
Eastern Russia, Mongolia and Canada, as well as some humorous insight 
into their earlier days as professional ski “models”.  In an effort to 
truly pass on their experiences, both good and bad, from each of these 
expeditions, there will be voice-overs from original journal entries as 
well as commentary from each of the presenters.

The Making Of Mountaineers presentation will finish up with Kasha and 
Hilaree speaking about their upcoming adventures and how they see these 
expeditions taking on new meaning in the future.
