Kate McMahon

Kate McMahon currently lives in a roof-top car tent, solo-traveling across North America to surf, ski&board, mountain bike, and vibe. Kate recently graduated with Highest Honors from the University of Texas at Austin, in December 2021, with a B.A. in Liberal Arts.

After skiing and snowboarding all her life, Kate’s first post-graduate job was as an instructor at Kirkwood Ski Resort, California. During this season, she earned her PSIA-AASI Level 1 Teaching Certifications in both skiing and snowboarding. Gaining and sharing knowledge is a service that brings great enjoyment to her life.

Her family travels the world, leading her to a bold lifestyle. Kate lived on a sailboat in the Eastern Caribbean when she was five, making alternative outdoor activities second nature. Since then, she has spent her life pursuing dauntless activities and researching new destinations to do extreme sports, as she often visits alone. She has collected the best gear to aid her adrenaline-seeking lifestyle along the way.

With the technology of sports changing so rapidly, Slope Magazine is the perfect fit for Kate to stay on top of her game by researching the latest trends in equipment, gear, and hot spots for you to check out so you can stay on top of your game too! This job supports the nomadic lifestyle that allows Kate to chase waves, send mountain bike jumps, or shred the ski slopes every day of the year.
