Although Kristen has recently retired from active participation in the extreme skiing scene, she's left quite a legacy. Kristen was voted or called by the ski industry the best overall female skier in the World for 12 years in a row. She was also voted the most extreme woman athlete in North America for her equally enthusiastic approach to sports such as rock and ice climbing, paragliding, kiteboarding and adventure bicycling.

After leaving the US Mogul Team, Kristen pioneered the new "extreme" or "freeskier" style, and became known for hair-ball cliff jumps, huge flips, fast big-mountain skiing, first descents down you-fall-you-die exposures, or anything exciting you can do on a pair of skis.

Featured in dozens of "extreme" skiing movies, and the subject of thousands of articles and photos published around the world, Kristen has become synonymous with redefining the limits, on and off the slopes.

More than just being the subject of magazines, Kristen has also become one of the most influential and oft published ski and adventure writers of her decade. Jules Older,Editor-in-Chief, Ski Press and Ski Press USA, says simply "In my professional opinion, Kristen Ulmer is the best ski writer in North America." Along the way, Kristen built a strong resume as a professional public speaker and TV show host.

Ski To Live, however, is by far her favorite contribution to the ski and sports world.

Kristen has appeared in media sources such as Outside, Maxim, Sports Illustrated, National Geographic Adventure, Women's Sports and Fitness, Vogue, Elle, US News and World Report, The Robb Report, Skiing, Ski, Powder, Men's Journal, Penthouse, Freeze, Freeskier, Details, Bike, Playboy, Kiteboard, Working Woman, The LA Times, USA Today, ESPN, MTV, The Weather Channel, Discovery Channel, NBC, ABC, FOX, 48 Hours, and on and on.
