• Her parents were rock climbers that showed her the ropes, inspiring a deep love for the mountains.

• Started ski touring in Europe at 10 years old with her dad, who was an International Mountain Guide.

She shares with us all of the great nuggets of wisdom that she learned from them, as well as what it takes to scope the perfect line and stay safe in the mountains.
