The Speaker
Drew Petersen is a professional skier and passionate ultrarunner who is on a mission to change our culture surrounding mental health. He blends his athletic adventures—ranging from skiing peaks in the backcountry to running 100 miles—with his storytelling as a writer, filmmaker, and speaker in order to bring others along for the ride and to advocate for what he cares most about. As a skier, he has graced magazine covers and starred in dozens of award-winning ski films. His writing has appeared in Outside Magazine, Powder Magazine, SKI Magazine, and more publications. In 2022, Drew produced, co-directed, and starred in Ups and Downs, a mold-breaking film that mirrors the mountains and valleys of ski touring with his own mental health journey. His newest film Feel It All chronicles running the Leadville 100, one of the most iconic 100-mile ultramarathons in the world, through the peaks he has skied surrounding the course and the deep, mental health goal that drives him to pursue both audacious athletic goals and a full life. Through these films and his accompanying career renaissance in the mission of mental health awareness and suicide prevention, Drew has established himself as the foremost mental health advocate in the sport and community of skiing.
