Ski racer

I've grown up skiing at Kickinghorse Mountain BC, a true thrill seeker's resort. I started skiing when I was 2 years old — I'm almost 18 and my love for charging big-mountain lines has only grown! I ski raced for about six years until I made the switch to competing on the IFSA JR big-mountain circuit. From there, I qualified to compete at NORAMs three times! I am currently trying to focus more on filming rather than competition and have been filming with Oatway Production out of Golden BC for two years now. This crew really pushes me to send. Don’t feel shy if you see me up on the mountain, come rip a few laps!
