We lost a legend. And are absolutely gutted. In honor of the icon, the inspiration, the hero that was Hilaree Nelson, we decided to republish her 2019 Stokecast interview. Through this, please allow Hilaree to continue inspiring your next great adventure and your most fulfilling life.


On September 26, 2022, while skiing off the true summit of Mount Manaslu in Nepal with partner Jim Morrison, Hilaree Nelson was swept off her skis by a small avalanche that carried her off the south side of the face. Her body was found two days later. Hilaree will be missed, but her spirit and legacy will live on.
