ABOUT THIS EVENT
INGRID BACKSTROM’S “SEARCHING FOR THE ANSWER”
BROUGHT TO YOU BY ALPENGLOW SPORTS
While Backstrom has appeared in over 20 movies by Matchstick Productions, Sherpa Cinemas, and Warren Miller, amongst others, and accomplished remote ski descents in Alaska, Baffin Island, and China, as well as a decade-long stint as the most influential woman on skis, according to Powder Magazines Reader Poll from 2005-15, something was still missing.
In Searching for the Answer, Backstrom reflects on her professional ski career, a journey that starts inwardly and ends with an ultimate, and close to home, personal challenge. Before having a family, Backstrom focused relentlessly on chasing the best snow on the planet. However, after several life changing events, including pregnancies, raising a family, and a “wake-up call” crash in Alaska in 2022, Backstrom found herself questioning her relationship with skiing for the first time. Rather than pull back, Backstrom’s hunch was to go all in and ski one hundred consecutive days. The results are physically, mentally, logistically, and hilariously challenging.
Backstrom’s show couldn’t be more timely, scheduled on the heels of Elyse Saugstad’s Winter Speaker Series show in mid January. Elyse highlighted both the challenges faced by women and mother’s in the ski industry, a historically male-dominated industry, while also celebrating how far women have come and where they are headed. In talking about the beginning of her own career, Elyse stated, “And, who wouldn’t want to follow in Ingrid’s footsteps”.
