Kim Kircher has logged more than 600 hours of explosives control,
earning not only her avalanche blaster's card, but also a heli-blaster
endorsement, allowing her to fly over ski slopes in a helicopter and drop bombs
from the open cockpit, while uttering the fabulously thrilling words "bombs
away." Her articles have appeared in The Ski Journal, Women's
Adventure Magazine and Off-Piste Magazine. Her memoir, The Next 15
Minutes: Strength From the Top of the Mountain, portrays her life as a ski
patroller and the lessons she learned on the slopes in order to get through her
husband's cancer diagnosis. Read more about Kim and her book on her website at
