More About Brenna Kelleher
Residing in Big Sky, Montana, Brenna is a pioneer in outdoor education, elite sports, and global leadership. After competing in Alpine Skiing for Montana State University in the NCAA, Brenna began her career in snowsports instruction and eventually became an Examiner/Trainer for the PSIA-AASI. She served two terms on the PSIA National Team from 2016 to 2024, representing the U.S. at the Interski Congress in both Bulgaria and Finland.
Through these experiences, she realized her desire to collaborate with other women to address the underrepresentation of females in snowsports. This led to the creation of the World Women's Snowsports Organisation (WWSO), aimed at sharing knowledge and building a community to promote equity across all areas of the snowsports industry.
Brenna is also a content collaborator and creator for CARV, and she appeared in Warren Miller's 2019 film Timeless. Most importantly, she is a warm, funny, and inspiring person to ski with, having conducted ski camps throughout Europe for years.
