Ever since a little girl I knew that I wanted to be a skier when I grew up. When I was in elementary school, I remember relentlessly nagging my parents to let me join the Squaw Valley Ski Team until they finally caved in. It was the best decision I ever made. I grew up racing for Squaw until I moved to Bozeman, Montana at the age of 18. While living in Montana, my focus soon began to shift from downhill racing to big mountain skiing. I’ve been addicted to the adrenaline and chasing powder ever since!
