Ep. 956: Crossing Baffin Island on Skis - Valerie Gagne

Skiing: Valérie Gagné, Ray Zahab, Kevin Vallely Cross Baffin Island on Skis – 7-Day Arctic Expedition Post-Ray's Cancer Diagnosis and Chemo. In February, Valerie, Ray Zahab, and Kevin Valley crossed a section of Baffin Island in the Canadian arctic on skis. A 7-day expedition was made even more impressive since Ray was accomplishing this adventure after being diagnosed with cancer in September and going through chemo treatments.

Valérie has been an athlete all her life, competing in cross-country skiing and rowing internationally. Since retiring from high performance sports, Valérie has competed in various ultramarathons and has been on multiple expeditions to some of the most remote places on earth, including the Atacama desert and the Canadian Arctic. Valérie has also guided expeditions in the Canadian Rockies, Siberia and Death valley for various non-profits organizations, and for renowned adventure companies including National Geographic and Kapik1 expedition company.

Valerie's goal through crossing Baffin Island on skis was to inspire people to reach beyond their perceived limits, get out there and accomplish what they thought might be impossible.
