My name is Kimberly Fasani-Britton, but I go by Kimmy Fasani and I was born on April 25. I grew up in Truckee, CA and my mom got me on skis when I was 2 years old. When I was about 9 years old my mom surprised me with a snowboard for Christmas. It became my routine to go out snowboarding after my ski races on the weekends with a close group of guy friends. When I was 12 years old I decided to stop skiing and stick with snowboarding. At 15 years old I had quick amateur success and was crowned the USASA National Slopestyle Champion for 3 years in a row. These results gave me the confidence and motivation to graduate early from high school in 2002 so I could dedicate more time to being on snow. Though snowboarding was a big priority and education was also very important to me. I moved to Mammoth Lakes, CA in the fall of 2002 and attended Cerro Coso Community College then completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing from University of Phoenix Online in July of 2008. The past couple years, I have focused my attention on putting together video parts with Standard Films.  The most current Standard movie “TB20″ is on shelves now. (For more highlights from this season please see the publicity section of this website.)

              In addition to my snowboarding career, I am very focused on living a healthy active lifestyle as well as being a positive ambassador for my community. Furthermore, my husband, professional skier Chris Benchetler, and I have invested in a local business, Mimi’s Cookie Bar, which is an organic bakery/ frozen yogurt shop in the heart of town. Since we met at an ice cream parlor and both have a huge sweet tooth this investment seemed fitting. (http://www.mimiscookiebar.com/)
