ROOTED IN SUN VALLEY
Alli Rathfon is a lifelong athlete whose identity is deeply connected to the rugged landscapes of Idaho. Her foundation in the sport began with the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation where she developed the technical precision and discipline of a national-level ski racer. After competing at the highest levels of junior racing, she continued to cultivate her passion for the sport while attending the University of Utah. Today, Alli has returned to her roots in Sun Valley where she balances a professional career in operations with her role as a premier Pilates instructor. Her approach to fitness is holistic, focusing on the strength and mobility required to sustain an active life in the high desert and alpine terrain.
A LIFESTYLE OF MOVEMENT
For Alli, the mountains are more than a backdrop; they are her training ground. When she is not in the studio, she is almost certainly outside exploring the vast trail networks of the Wood River Valley or skiing the iconic slopes of Bald Mountain. Her athletic pursuits are diverse, ranging from high-altitude running to skiing and technical mountain training. This multi-sport lifestyle demands a wardrobe that is as versatile as her daily schedule, ensuring she can transition seamlessly from a morning run to an afternoon teaching.
CAREER MILESTONES:
• National Competitor: Former elite ski racer with the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation.
• Collegiate Athlete: Represented the University of Utah club ski team.
• Fitness Leader: Certified HIIT Pilates instructor specializing in athletic performance and core stability.
• Local Expert: Deeply integrated into the Sun Valley athletic community and mountain sports.

TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE ON AND OFF THE SNOW
Alli understands that gear is a tool for performance. Her background in racing gives her a unique appreciation for the technical engineering behind KJUS apparel, particularly the stretch fabrics and moisture-management systems that are essential for high output activities. She chooses KJUS because it provides the comfort and durability needed for a life spent entirely outdoors while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. Whether she is navigating a steep technical descent or pushing her students to find their edge in the studio, she relies on the sophisticated minimalist design that KJUS is known for.
