Professional Chairlift-Free Skier
Brody Leven has never eaten meat. A professional chairlift-free adventure skier, he advocates for planet and people through his steep skiing and self-supported endurance outings.
Brody has run 100 miles without stopping, climbed and skied 70,000 vertical feet without sleep, kayaked the Grand Canyon, explored bikepacking routes, and made notable ski descents on six continents. Since earning Economics and Honors degrees from Westminster College, where he was two-term student body president, he has been featured on covers of major magazines, in award-winning adventure films, and as an Outdoor Industry 30 Under 30. As an athlete, speaker, writer, personality, director, and producer, his year-round mountain stories inspire others toward impactful challenges.
Brody’s longtime volunteer advocacy focuses on climate, public lands, and avalanche safety. He regularly meets to discuss these with officials in Washington DC and those local to his Salt Lake City home, where he shares a small organic farm with his wife Katie and dog Spaghetti. He serves on the Board of Directors of the American Alpine Club, the advisory board of his alma mater’s honors college, and is the Protect Our Winters ski team captain.
