Rafaelo Infante is a skier, mountain biker, and all-around alpine enthusiast rooted in Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley. Whether carving lines through powder or ripping singletrack under summer skies, Rafaelo lives for the rhythm of the mountains. From dawn patrols to high-alpine adventures, Rafaelo is always chasing the next line—and inspiring others to do the same.
Born, raised, and based in Aspen, CO, you can find Nevada trail running, climbing, or skiing in the epic playground she gets to call home. While trail running is her main sport, you will often hear her say that she doesn't actually like running - it is just a mode of transportation to the fun stuff, scrambling in the high alpine. When she is not rambling ridgelines, she is likely basking in the sunshine with her soul dog Duke.
