Lucy Leishman

My name is Lucy, and I've had the amazing opportunity to grow up in Nelson. I've been skiing at Whitewater since I was two and spent most of my childhood on the local race team. While I enjoyed racing, the freeride spirit began to grab my attention, and Coach Dano persuaded me to give it a try. I quickly found a love for the team spirit and the adrenaline of competing, which led me to the Junior North American Championships, where I took home the win!

My goals this year include returning to compete in the Free Ride World Tour Challengers, as well as skiing with the team whenever I get the chance. I'm also hoping to inspire the next generation of skiers by hosting a Coldsmoke clinic, showing them that it’s all about fun, making friends, and pushing yourself to grow as an athlete.
