Judy Kasiama is a multi-sport athlete, an outdoor advocate, and the founder of Colour the Trails and the Like Me Film Festival. We had the opportunity to sit down with Judy for the second time to discuss what she’s been up to since we last chat, the positive change in snow sports demographics, the work left to be done, how industry is still getting it wrong, and how they can change that.
