Joy, connection + really good vibes in MAMMOTH! 🦣

I love Mammoth - I’ve been racing and training here for the last twenty years and have returned during every season of my career. I have many beautiful memories here. This year, my annual pilgrimage brought me down to forerun the Far West Super-G Finals. Yes, SUPER-G! ;)

I reconnected with coaches whom I’ve known my entire career, met and skied with many spirited (and fast) young athletes and gave out awards. Of course, I also ripped around with friends on my !

I love this sport and I’m so grateful to have grown up racing in the Far West while having the honor of skiing for sLOVEnia 🇸🇮 I love representing both worlds.

My heart is full…skiing SG at home in the sunshine was the perfect ending to the 2025-26 race season. 🤙

Kranjska Gora Slovenian National Championships ✨

To come full-circle here with my dad
To have my grandpa “dedi” hike up the hill to watch my final race run of the season
To podium
To almost take a Slovenian win (missed it by 0.03)!
To race GS on a World Cup hill
To love and appreciate this sport and everyone and everything in it
To Stöckli for the magic boards that keep me flying
And SHRED. for the vision and protection

I’m so grateful. There will be more appreciation posting. 😉

For now ~ Kranjska Gora, SloSki Alpine team, Smučarska Zveza Slovenije - SloSki.si, SK Radovljica, in vsem v Sloveniji, ki me podpirajo in omogočajo, da se ta šport nadaljuje: hvala lepa. HVALA! 🙏

Spring racing will always bring me profound feelings of joy and nostalgia. From Tahoe League, to countless U.S. Nationals, and now racing on the slopes of Slovenia (the same ones that my dad used to race on), this time of the year often shows me the timeless magic of this sport.

I love skiing. I love the people I meet and the places I go. Three more weeks until the end of my season in Europe!

Car(v)e Diem, baby. 💫

Citius, Altius, Fortius — Communiter 💪

As I reflect on this incredible experience and feel the natural high and low emotions that come with a pinnacle competition, I remind myself that the journey and effort are more significant than the final result.

It’s easier to define “successful” with a medal, but that’s a fleeting moment, and every athlete that competes has a hard-fought story to honor. At the Olympics, we celebrate this and give credit to the bigger picture.

To all of my fellow athletes, thank you for sharing this chapter with me! Find peace in your heart knowing that you are valued and worthy beyond your results.

For all of my awesome humans, these Games give us the opportunity to remember that we’re all in this together. This is our global solidarity and unity.

As an Olympian, I honor the Olympic values for the rest of my life. May these Games also inspire you to keep doing your best and strive for excellence not only in performance but also in character. Enjoy your sport and Live Olympic! 🫶

Enjoy this podcast episode that I did with Noah Charney and Feel Slovenia and dive into Slovenian passion and culture! 🇸🇮

Snow here isn’t background scenery; it’s a way of life. In this episode, we step into Slovenia’s winter pulse, where ski jumping is a family ritual, weekends revolve around the forecast, and visitors are welcomed not just as guests, but as partici...
