“There are two great risks in life. Risking too much and risking too little. What risks are you willing to take to achieve the life you want?” – Jimmy
Jimmy Chin is a professional mountain athlete, National Geographic photographer, Academy Award-winning film director, and New York Times Best Selling author. His dual career as a world-class adventure athlete and artist is without precedent - he's equally respected for groundbreaking climbing and skiing achievements in the mountains as he is for his stunning photography and filmmaking.
Jimmy has been a professional climber and skier on The North Face Athlete team for over 20 years. His travels have taken him to all seven continents and he has led cutting edge expeditions around the world. In 2006 he achieved the first successful American ski descent from the summit of Mount Everest with Kit and Rob DesLauriers.

Professional alpine climber, photographer and filmmaker Jimmy Chin regularly pushes the limits, taking risks that challenge even his well-honed skills. In this interview, he shares his strategies and stories with Elite Traveler’s Roberta Naas.

While he regularly takes risks, he is quick to assert that they are always calculated and intentional decisions. Chin is also an avid skier, National Geographic photographer and an Academy Award winning filmmaker. Additionally, he stepped into the role of parenthood a few years ago and most recently became a brand ambassador for Swiss watch brand Panerai.
Chin has not only climbed some of the most difficult and dangerous mountains (including Everest), but he has also trekked — on foot — Tibet’s 275-mile, incredibly remote Chang Tang Plateau; he is one of the only people ever to ski off of the summit of Mount Everest; and is one of only three people (the other two were his ski partners) to have skied the Southeast Ridge route.
