Pati discovered skiing later in life—at the age of 26—while working in British Columbia, Canada. Not long after, she found herself in Yosemite National Park, where winters offered the perfect opportunity to explore the backcountry on skis. Over the years, she continued to travel and ski across the western United States, always on her beloved telemark gear.

Soap making came a bit later. In her mid-thirties, Pati was introduced to a remarkable natural soap that sparked her curiosity. She took a soap-making class, and with her longtime interest in herbs and essential oils, the craft quickly became a natural extension of her passions.

Now, nearly 40 years later, the Silver Tele Girl continues to blend her love for skiing and soap making from her home in Kellogg, Idaho. Each bar of soap is made with care, inspired by the mountains she loves and the lifestyle she lives.

Enjoy!
