Since age nine, Kimmy Fasani has been ripping up the slopes on a snowboard. At fifteen, she won the USASA National Slopestyle Crown — and then repeated that feat for two more years. She was the first female snowboarder to ever land a double backflip and has continued to trailblaze her way through the snowboarding world, collecting a Rider of the Year win from Snowboarder in 2017 along with countless other nominations and awards.
Most recently, she worked on a video with Absinthe Films trekking to Haines, Alaska to film her part. She continues to push the limits of snowboarding, carving a place for herself in the history books. We caught up with Fasani before her summer of travel to ask her what gear is necessary for her training, and how she packs for a month-long trip to New Zealand.
Kimmy Fasani’s Gear
Hoka One One Speed Goat 2
“I always travel with running shoes, and I use Hoka One Ones for that — so I try to find trails. Right now, I try to run three to four days a week, but also try to hike so I’m doing [something] five to six days a week. I wear [these] on the trail for hiking too — the Speed Goats are an all-around hiking/running shoe. I’ve also had some injuries and they make it feel less daunting.”
