Rings
Long a symbol of unity: every
nation’s flag shares at least one of
the colors in the Olympic rings, their
interlocking design a celebration of
inclusivity and global spirit. Jetset’s
iconic Tibi Star Pants pay tribute
to the ideal – a stylish nod to the

Fireside Read
More than a memoir — it’s a testament to
the unbreakable spirit of a woman who
refused to be defined by tragedy.
For Pamela Caram, skiing wasn’t just
sport — it was sanctuary. On the slopes she
discovered freedom, purpose, and the tools
to rebuild a shattered life. After fleeing
Chile under harrowing circumstances,
Pamela carved out a place for herself in
a new world — becoming the first female
ski tuner on the Europa Cup circuit.
Amid long days spent hauling heavy gear,
sharpening edges, and tuning bases, she
transformed wax rooms into safe havens
for young skiers far from home, quietly
creating bonds of trust and belonging.
But her journey was never confined
to the mountains. The Condor Prophecy
follows Pamela as she navigates abuse,
separation from her children, and the
darkness of decisions she made to survive.
Losing everything familiar, she started
over in a strange place, yet found a way to
carve a life from uncertainty. The perfect
emblem for her story — the condor is
revered in Native American and Andean
culture as a symbol of hope and messenger
between worlds, a spirit rising high above
the snowy mountains we love so much.
Looking for strength in unexpected
places? Pamela is proof that it's never too
late to find your place in the world. Written
with the insight of her dear friend Barbara
Sanders, The Condor Prophecy carries the
greater hope of a little extra courage for
anyone who needs it. — Hilary Ondayko
