On Monday September 26, 2022 world-renowned ski mountaineer Hilaree Nelson lost her life while attempting to ski from the 26,781-foot summit of Nepal’s Manaslu with her partner Jim Morrison. Hilaree was a trailblazer and mentor for countless women and men adventurers. We repost several of her videos here to honor her incredible life and accomplishments. Our condolences to her partner Jim, her family, and friends.
