On life and a love of winter...

Decades of friendship and a shared passion for skiing 💌

We met up with Jane Gallie and Margo Krisjansons from the all-women ski film, Nexus. They met in 1981 when trekking through Nepal and have been best friends ever since. The duo works three days a week in the summer at Exum, a mountain guide service in Grand Teton National Park. In the Winter when they aren’t working for Exum, they ski together as much as possible. 

Jane and Margo are neighbors, co-workers, and adventure buddies.

After 36th years of friendship, their lives are more intertwined than ever.

“The baseline is skiing’s for fun, but it’s where you do it. Sometimes you go, “this is really a dumb thing we’re doing. Just walking uphill and going downhill.” But it’s what it does to your self-concept and your spirit while you’re doing it.” -Jane and Margo

“We complain a little bit about getting old but we should really celebrate that we have made it to this age and still can do what we do. I am just so grateful for it every day.” -Jane

“Be passionate. Be practical but be passionate. Do what you love. Just do what makes you happy.” - Margo

“If you’re happy and you follow your passion you can help others too. You’re a better person in the world.” -Jane
