The Smaine Fund was established in honor of Kyle Smaine, a renowned professional skier, who tragically passed away on January 29, 2023, on a backcountry skiing trip in the Japanese Alps.

His achievements included winning the 2015 FIS Halfpipe World Championships, winning the 2018 Mammoth Grand Prix Olympic qualifier, making finals at the Winter X Games in Aspen and Oslo, winning local events like the Daron Rahlves' Banzai, and many more. The support of the community, the incredible ski terrain, and the amazing people here in Tahoe were vital to his success. Not only did Kyle have immense talent as a skier, he excelled in cycling and many other disciplines. You were lucky if you had the chance to see him on a waterski or in the curling rink.

Kyle’s extraordinary skills on skis and a bike really caught everyone’s eye, but more importantly, his kindness and generosity, are what influenced our community and the ski world today. Kyle’s exceptional ability to build community and foster meaningful relationships stemmed from his genuine interest in others. His approach was characterized by active listening, empathy, and a sincere desire to understand people on a personal level. Whether through his ski or professional setting, Kyle made everyone feel valued and heard. His inclusive nature transcended superficial boundaries, allowing people to connect. Kyle’s leadership style was characterized by humility and focus on shared goals. He encouraged collaboration and celebrated the successes of the community as a whole. In essence, Kyle’s greatness at building community and meaningful relationships stemmed from his authenticity, empathy, and the belief that everyone has something valuable to contribute. His legacy lies in the lasting connections he forged and the positive impact he had on the lives of those fortunate enough to be part of his community.

Kyle never gave up his love for skiing or this place and community and wanted to share it with everyone.

Golfers of all skill levels are encouraged to join the scramble and make a difference. To register or for more information about the event and sponsorship opportunities, please visit www.thesmainefund.com or contact Brian Walker.
