In this episode we meet with sisters, Kailey and Karissa, the founders of Iksplor.  Karissa is the CEO, Kailey is the Chief Marketing Officer. Iksplor is a Jackson Hole based, sustainably sourced, ski base layer clothing company.  All their clothing is made from ethically sourced extra fine merino wool that makes outdoor adventures easier, longer and cozier!  Iksplor makes clothing for the whole family from infant to adults. 

They share their early childhood memories of skiing with their grandfather and parents starting at ages 2 & 3 years old. The sisters grew up in Colorado, skiing mainly on the weekends at Vail.

We learn about the inspiration that led Kailey and Karissa to start Iksplor and why they decided to focus on ski base layers. They think that base layers make or break your ski day or outdoor adventure, we could not agree more. It was really interesting to learn about how the sisters landed on merino wool, what is so special about it and how to properly care for your wool base layers. Iksplor has a wide variety of products including socks, hats and their newest first to market nursing base layer top. 

We also talk about how they divide and conquer the many roles they have to play to keep Iksplor running smoothly - ranging from sales and marketing to product design. 

Karissa and Kailey share all sorts of great insider tips on Jackson Hole and Snow King - from where to eat with kids to their favorite bakery and coffee shop.
