In this episode the Ski Moms are joined by Emmy-winning broadcaster and writer Victoria Gaither who shares her powerful skiing journey from a tearful first experience at Liberty Mountain through D.C. public schools to becoming a passionate advocate for diversity in winter sports. Starting her career with legendary Ted Koppel, Victoria now writes for Mountain Times and Vermont Ski and Snowboard magazine, focusing on positive stories that move the needle forward.
Her viral article "The Myth of the Black Skier" challenges narratives about diversity in skiing, emphasizing that Black skiers have always been part of the community. Victoria discusses the historic National Brotherhood of Skiers organization, founded in the 1960s to combat resort discrimination, and shares how skiing builds confidence both on and off the mountain. She advocates that "if you ski, you are a skier" regardless of ability level, promoting an inclusive vision where skiing is about personal joy, views, and community rather than speed or technical prowess.
