Upslope Presents: Kit DesLauriers, Skiing the 7 Summits (Denver REI)

Join us at Denver REI for a beer tasting by Upslope Brewing Company and an adventurous evening with ski mountaineer and author of “Higher Love: Skiing the Seven Summits” Kit DesLauriers

To kick off the evening, join us in the climbing department at Denver REI for a book signing with Kit DesLauries, author of Higher Love: Skiing the Seven Summits. Centered on her quest to climb and ski the “Seven Summits,” Higher Love is a hero’s journey, rich with personal insights, life-threatening consequences, and a thrilling crescendo. Spanning seven continents in just two years, this is Kit’s personal account of the secret journey that would change her heart and her life forever. From braving Antarctica’s bone-chilling temperatures to trudging through an African rain forest, from corn snow on the continental slopes of Australia to blue ice on Everest, Kit leads you up each mountain and gives you a heart-racing ride back down. This candid, fast-paced story shows how inspiration, teamwork and honoring our true nature blazes the trail to every summit, on or off the mountain. Presentation to follow at 6:30pm – register here.

Kit is the first person in the world to have skied off the top of the 7 summits, the highest points on each of the 7 continents. Kit will present her quest with vivid images and tales from Higher Love, which is a hero’s journey, rich with personal insights, life-threatening consequences, and a thrilling crescendo.
