“The Lange brand is all about the dynamic, athletic aspect of skiing,” says Wardlaw. “Around the world, we have some amazingly talented women athletes who deserve recognition for their skiing ability as well as for their ability to inspire other women to make the most of their natural abilities as well.”
As Nancy Peck joins the Lange team in New England, she fits the Lange Girl Athlete profile not only an avid, passionate skier, but also an accomplished marathon runner, Iron Man competitor, road bike racer, and multi-sport competitive athlete.
