Freeride

I grew up with my sister Angel on the hill at Snowbird Ski resort. Our dad worked in the snow safety department, so had us skiing and understanding the mountains from a very young age. Our mom homeschooled us in the winter which allowed us to spend more time on skis. At 17 I won the Junior Freeskiing World tour, and the same year became the youngest person to climb the seven summits- the highest peak on each continent- and did it in a year. After that I knew skiing had to be a part of my life, and kept competing on the Freeskiing circuit, as well as started filming with Sherpas Cinema. After a couple films with them, I started filming with Teton Gravity Research, and have spent the last 7 years chasing snow and looking for cool terrain all over the world with amazing people!
