Eric Alexander, a world-class skier, climber, mountaineer, and speaker is achieving his goals while playing an

instrumental role in helping others to achieve their own.  Recently he defied the odds and scaled Mt. Everest with his blind friend, Erik Weihenmayer.  Currently he is planning his next adventure to Russia with Erik, to climb and ski Mt. Elbrus, at 18500 ft - one of the seven summits (the highest points on each of the seven continents), making this the first-ever blind ski descent of Mt. Elbrus.

When not instructing disabled skiers in Vail, Colorado - Erik directs Adventures Beyond Limits, an organization that educates and encourages youth with disabilities in the outdoors.

Climbing has not always been without its trials.  Eric reminds us of our humanity and demonstrates the courage it takes to succeed in climbing Everest after a near-fatal fall in the Himalayas when he fell 150 feet onto a 3 foot wide ledge that saved him from another 500 foot drop.  As a speaker and author of "The Summit," Eric has the ability to relate his exciting journey and challenge audiences to set and achieve their personal and corporate goals.
