Mali Noyes

Meet Mali.

Mali grew up in Sun Valley, Idaho as a Nordic ski racer before shifting her focus to big mountain skiing. Within three years, she won the North American Freeride World Tour Qualifiers, earning a spot on the 2016 Freeride World Tour.

Now based between Golden, BC and Salt Lake City, Utah, she focuses on backcountry skiing — combining endurance, freeride skill, and creativity in the mountains. In 2025, she skied all 93 lines in The Chuting Gallery in just under seven weeks, setting a new benchmark in Wasatch ski mountaineering. When not chasing steep descents, she’s racing ultras or working as a nurse.

Why ZipFit?

I have small feet and ankles, so finding a touring boot that truly fits is tough. With ZipFit, I can add cork and customize the liner for a precise, powerful fit. As Sven says, the founder of ZipFit, the liner is the "inner boot" and that makes the boot both comfortable and perform well.
