Kim Reichhelm Queen of Extreme

RealSkiers

Kim and I are going reminisce about our time together at the Snow Country Magazine ski test in the early ‘90’s, but oddly that wasn’t the high point of her career. She is best known as the creator of the first and still longest-running women’s ski camps, which came after a career in ski racing that landed her on the U.S. Ski Team. She is notorious for a fairly spectacular crash that occurred while filming with Greg Stump and Bruce Benedict on License to Thrill, a spill that went viral before viral was a thing. A big-mountain competition champion as well as a world-class windsurfer, we caught up with Kim yesterday.
