Skier

I am a skier from Winter Park, Colorado, and skiing has been at the heart of my life since I first clicked into skis at age three. My dad is the director of ski patrol at Winter Park Resort, my mom spent 30 years as a Spanish teacher before retiring to guide ski touring at the resort, and my brother is a member of the U.S. Ski Team. Growing up in a family of passionate skiers, the mountains quickly became both my home and my inspiration. I earned a spot on the U.S. Team at 16 and continue to compete internationally in Halfpipe. Outside of competition, I spend as much time as possible in the backcountry, where I enjoy exploring the mountains and skiing creatively without the pressures of competing.
