Red Bench Speaker Series: Hillary Gerardi The Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum’s Red Bench Speaker Series makes a triumphant return to in-person programming with an appearance by St. Johnsbury native Hillary Gerardi, women’s world record holder for the fastest trek of the legendary high-alpine Haute Route. She is also a skyrunner, or high-altitude foot racer, and set another speed record just last month at the Trofeo Kima competition in Italy. Gerardi is interviewed by Rutland author and Olympic journalist Peggy Shinn, and an audience Q&A follows.
