Pearl Outlaw's journey with vision loss began at age nine with a diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Now 27, she's experienced the full progression of RP—from night blindness in childhood to using a cane in high school, to a rapid transition in 2018 that left her almost completely without vision within months. Her introduction to Nordic skiing came in 2019 while attending the Carroll Center for the Blind in Boston. After taking a semester off college to learn how to navigate life without sight, she got involved with New England Ski for Light. The following year, she reached out to BethAnn Chamberlain, the US Para Nordic development coach and is pursuing that sport, She is also attending her third The Hartford Ski Spectacular in Breckenridge, Colorado this month.
