Thovex has helped to produce two films, titled One of Those Days and Few Words. When he is not skiing or producing, Thovex is working on his mountain-wear clothing named Candide. When you’ve established yourself in a sport as much as he has, a first name is simply all you need for instant brand recognition.
Cody Townsend (@codytownsend) – Cody Townsend is a professional skier who loves to traverse the mountains. No matter what season, Townsend’s feed is full of photos from all his time in the mountains, which is what inspired him to create Arcade Belts, a company that provides a twist on the traditional belt for skiers.
Linda Meixner (@lindameixner) – For ski aficionados, few places rate higher on a list of dream places to ski than the Alps. For skiier, Linda Meixner, that dream is part of her everyday routine. Living near the Montafon mountain range in Austria, Meixner showcases beautiful photos of her skiing in Austria. One of the messages Meixner promotes is limiting time on our phones and instead appreciating the small moments of our daily lives and in nature.
Rachel Pohl (@rachel.pohl) – It’s tough to find something that can mirror the majestic beauty of the mountains; however, Rachel Pohl’s mountain artwork certainly can. Pohl’s landscape portraits use vivid blues and whites to capture the mountains and frame them in a fresh perspective. Additionally, Pohl is doing her part to ensure that the mountains continue to look beautiful, as she donates part of the proceeds from her art to help the environment.

Currently based in Big Sky, Montana, Miller is a legend in the sport and also posts adventurous photos.

Anna Vieth (@anna.vieth) – The resilient, three time world champion and Olympic medalist Anna Vieth has had quite the successful career.
