Kristin Marie “Tin” Bindi, age 33, passed away on December 20, 2025, in Bozeman, Montana. She was born January 11, 1992, in Columbus, Ohio.

Tin’s greatest passion was paragliding. One of the top female paraglider's in the world. Tin was recognized internationally for her strength, precision, and courage. She founded Sky’s The Limit Paragliding and Tours, blending adventure, mentorship, and freedom of flight. Montana was her home, with deep love also held for Bend, Oregon, and Turkey, where she and her partner, Chad, built a meaningful international community through paragliding.

In 2022, Tin co-founded a Yellowstone tour guiding company with her sister, Lisa Joslyn, sharing her vast knowledge of wildlife, plants, and wildflowers. Tin made the natural world come alive for people of all ages. Her creativity flowed through many forms: through her work making malas, personalized herbal tea blends, watercolor painting, pottery, and photography so striking they felt worthy of National Geographic.

Above all, Tin showed up for the people she loved with fierce strength and deep tenderness. She was an extraordinary listener, mentor, and encourager, with a special gift for connecting with children, inspiring curiosity, and confidence outdoors. Tin is survived by her partner, Chad Charles; her parents, Carla (Monticello) and Mark Bindi; her sisters, Nicole Bindi and Lisa Joslyn; and her nephews, Grant and Taylor Joslyn, along with a large, loving extended family. Tin lived intentionally, courageously, and with deep love—and her legacy endures in the wild places she cherished, the art she created, and the many lives forever changed by her presence.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, July 11th, her half-birthday, in Yellowstone National Park.
