About Ryan

✔️ The Free Soul Skier:

Live inspired. Ski better. Enjoy the ride!

✔️ A soulful, introspective approach to skiing, snow sports, and the mountain lifestyle.

Hi, I’m Ryan Kime a husband, father, and free spirit who is deeply passionate about skiing and living the mountain lifestyle. After a 15-year career practicing emergency medicine left me discouraged, depressed, and demoralized, I longed to find a new path. One that was filled with blessings and opportunities, and would truly bring love and joy back into my life.

Years ago, I left my young ski career to chase a medical degree. I joked at the time it was only a temporary move and my skiing would be back. Now it is. This time with a loving wife, two wonderful boys, and unwavering trust in the wisdom of the mountains.

When asked about his lasting success, legendary skier Glen Plake responded in another interview saying, “To evolve, you have to be involved… at least at some level. Have pride in your work. Say, ‘Yes, I’m happy and proud of my work and my lifestyle!’ then go inspire yourself with the best version of yourself.”

That’s exactly what I plan to do. It’s no secret that I love skiing and spending time in the mountains. They humble me. They teach me. They inspire me. Not simply to be a better skier, but to be a better person and reach for the best version of myself.

Life is short. Why not find the right perspective?
