In July of 2026, averaging about 70 miles a day, Ben ran the 460-mile route, with over 65,000 feet of gain and loss, in 6 days, 1 hour and 40 minutes.

With ski racing parents from Vermont and Oregon it was no wonder skiing became easier than walking for Tommy. Mt Bachelor was the playground where he grew. Soon after finishing public high school Tommy simultaneously joined the US Ski Team and Dartmouth College. After a couple of years of competing in DH, SG, GS and SL on the World Cup and at the 2010 Olympics, Tommy broke his femur. During his recovery Tommy spent his time at Dartmouth studying Studio Art. Through forced absence from sport he discovered what art could do to tame his restless energy. Over the next several years he was able to build into a World Cup win, two podiums, two more Olympics, more injuries and recoveries, and a World Champs Gold. This being his 19th season on the US Ski team, Tommy is amidst a return from injury.

Laura Evenglow, LCSW, is a trauma therapist, educator, and creator of the Unconscious Mind Technique. Her work is built on a simple belief: our symptoms are not random. They are messages pointing toward something unresolved.

After years of working with trauma survivors, Laura developed the Unconscious Mind Technique to help people move beyond coping strategies and access the unconscious patterns that quietly shape emotions, relationships, and behavior. By helping people identify and resolve the experiences beneath their symptoms, her approach creates change from the inside out.

Laura now teaches this approach to both clients and therapists, with the goal of helping more people understand that the answers they are searching for are often already within them. They simply need a way to access them.
