On life and a love of winter...

Decades of friendship and a shared passion for skiing πŸ’Œ

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.Β 

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

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

β€œThe baseline is skiing’s for fun, but it’s where you do it. Sometimes you go, β€œthis 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

β€œWe 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

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

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