Ski Sunday: Kimmy Fasani – snowsport pioneer, mother & survivor


Kimmy Fasani is a pioneer in women’s snowsport, winning countless awards and making snowboarding history in the process.

But she has also had to face many hardships – losing both of her parents to cancer, then being diagnosed with aggressive inflammatory breast cancer herself in 2020.

After numerous rounds of brutal treatment, the mother of two is cancer-free and has returned to competing and riding some of the most extreme terrain you’ll ever see.

Kimmy spoke to BBC Sport before the release of her documentary Blizzard Butterfly.
