Welcome back to the Next Level Skiing podcast, brought to you by Wagner Skis. Today I have to pleasure of sharing my conversation with Krista Crabtree. Krista has spent decades introducing women to skiing via her \'She Skiis\' clinics. From the beginning of her career, she has tracked the evolution of women\\u2019s ski gear and because of that, she\\u2019s an expert on the topic. From design to material to shape, Krista knows exactly how skis will perform on the snow.

In this episode, Krista and I talk about women in skiing and the evolution of women\\u2019s ski gear. There have been a lot of gender politics in skiing and Krista shares some of her stories as a woman in the industry. We\\u2019re seeing plenty of positive changes in skiing, but there\\u2019s still plenty we can do to get more amazing women in the spotlight.
