My guest today is one of my best friends, Shannon Rahlves. Sister of Worldcup Skier and Olympian Daron Rahlves, Shannon opted out of a career in ski racing after winning NCAAs and gaining the title of All American Skier at UC Boulder. Illness and injury were factors but neither deterred Shanon to pivot and explore her other athletic talents of which there are many, as I have witnessed myself. Not only is Shannon smart and beautiful inside and out, she’s as badass as they come. She’s a competitor through and through in whatever sport she tackles, yet she truly finds joy and peace in running, especially when she share the experience with her friends. And her dog, of course. I’m lucky to be able to call her one of my closest friends and to continue to make great memories skiing , running and traveling together.
