Kelly Brush is a ski mom, the founder of the Kelly Brush Foundation (KBF), a pediatric nurse practitioner, biker, golfer and weekend adventurer. Kelly started the Kelly Brush Foundation after a college ski racing accident left her with a severe spinal cord injury at the T 7-8 level, fractured 4 ribs, fractured a vertebra in her neck, and a collapsed lung.

Kelly had the ultimate growth mindset, and with the help of her parents set out to start the KBF to change racing safety procedures to prevent this type of accident from happening again. Today the Kelly Brush Foundation has expanded to include a variety of programs and grants that inspire and empower people with spinal cord injuries to lead active and engaged lives.

Kelly grew up skiing in Vermont, chasing her friends and family around the slopes of Stowe. At age 7 she got a taste of ski racing and going fast and fell in love with the sport.  Kelly was a strong skier in high school at the Green Mountain Valley School (Waitsfield, VT) and landed a spot on the Middlebury College NCAA Alpine Ski Team. 

Kelly tells us about her own adaptive ski equipment, skiing with her family, and their favorite apres ski traditions.

When we talked with Wanda, she was the Chief Commercial Officer at Black Crows. We wanted to note that Wanda has since changed roles and is now the VP of Sales at Decked, an in-vehicle storage system company - check them out, their stuff is really cool.

Wanda shares her ski origin story, which started at a little town called Fernie in the Canadian Rockies. Wanda’s mom would pack all 4 kids in the minivan and drive them up to the mountains. 

Wanda was also a college soccer player and she gives us some insights into the skills and learnings she’s taken from the pitch and applies to her everyday work. 

Wanda’s had a fascinating career path that has included a variety of roles in the ski industry, and 12 years at Nike, before landing at Black Crows as their Chief Commercial Officer. If you’re not familiar with Black Crows, it is a privately owned French ski brand based in Chamonix, France that designs skis, poles and technical outerwear.  Wanda tells us all about her favorite Black Crows skis and how we can try them out ourselves.

In this episode, we talk with Dr Leslie Desrosiers, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the creator of ACL STRONG.  ACL Strong is a program that simplifies injury prevention training so that anybody can learn to protect their knees and avoid getting hurt. Over the 6 week program, ACL STRONG transforms athletes (skiers!) making us stronger in the right muscles, more aware of movements, and more resistant to knee, hip, and ankle problems.

Dr Leslie shares her ski origin story, which started at age 7 in Dubuque, Iowa.  Dr Leslie always knew she wanted to be a physical therapist, she went from graduate school into orthopedics private practice.  Later she built her online program focused on ACL injury prevention.  We were fascinated to learn that in a 4-6 week training program we can reduce our risk of injury by 50-67%! 

Dr Leslie has designed a program specifically for skiers called “Snow and Beyond” - that we are doing to get our bodies strong and ready for ski season!  We want to keep skiing for as long as possible and do our best to keep up with our kids!
