Meet MT Alpha: Kinsey Remien

Did you see her at Dolce night?  yeah you did.  She looked SMOKIN' in that black dress. 
Oh, which smokin' Alpha in a black dress, you say?   
She was the really sweet, blond one that was always smiling,

This is her! Sorry boys, she's taken. 


She's a sweetheart, but don't be fooled by those beautiful, glistening white teeth and that perfect smile (thank you Clarkfork Dental).  She's going to use those things to rip you to shreds on the trail. 


Seriously. 
You know when you're on the starting line, scoping out the competition? And you write off the girls who look really nice and sweet?  Well, Kinsey is one of those girl who looks too nice to be mean on the trail. 
But then!  BAM!  Kinsey is about to pull the ol' crocodile roll and blows girls straight out of the water, leaving them in her dust. She fast.  Real fast.  Secret fast.  Watch out ladies. 


Judging her fitness and descending skills, you'd never know she's only been riding for a year.  Can you say natural talent?  MT Alpha seems to have a ton of it and Kinsey is no exception.  
She once told an interviewer: 

"You can’t start at the top, but if you know that’s where you belong, and work your butt off, you’ll get where you need to go." 

(Yeah, thats right, she gets interviewed because she's such an awesome graphic designer and women! Amazing.)  Kinsey belongs at the top of the podium.  I can tell she she's been working like crazy to get faster on the bike.  She has yet to miss one Alpha ride and is always in the front group.  Killing it.  We are so excited to see how fast Kinsey goes this year! 




She grew up in Montana but left to go to college in Washington.  When she moved back (because who can leave this beautiful state?), she landed a killer job as a graphic designer at PartnersCreative in Missoula. She builds beautiful advertisements and making businesses pretty.  She's really good at it too.
She's a good ol' Montana girl who was raised on skis.  You can tell she spends her winters shredding the backcountry because she's not afraid to let it rip down OverLook. Those descending skills sure transfered nicely for her!  I think BlackDiamond is super psyched to have Kinsey on board.  BC skier and mountain bike racer?  Heck yeah!


Look out for her on the trail.  She rides a full suspension Specialized and wears LuluLemon tanks.  Did I mention she's super stylish?
