Jennifer started skiing at the age of three and soon was racing alpine. She first came into contact with freeskiing on trips to the Alps and North America. After competing in a few freeride contests, she decided to totally focus on the sport. Since then, she has been travelling all over the world, always in search of the best snow.
Biggest success:
1st rank at O´Neill Rookies Quest, Flaine, 2007
The spirit of skiing:
Skiing is the answer to everything!
The most risky experience:
A fall over 200 metres from Bec des Rosses at the Verbier Xtreme. Luckily, I got away with a broken leg. It could have been a lot worse.
The most painful experience:
I jumped a big air where the fox and rabbit say good night to each other. When I landed, my knee slammed into my chin. I kept the wound shut with a dressing but it took two hours to get to town. The pain was horrible.
The ultimate day on the mountain:
A perfect skiing day starts with a good breakfast with my best friends early in the morning. Then we head for the mountains to a totally secret spot, where we are all alone. We shred, jump and ski until our legs feel like spaghetti. Such a great day usually ends with a good steak in a restaurant and stories about our awesome lines.
What goes through your head before dopping a big face:
The search and the vision of the right line, where it should go, and then, go!
Reminiscence about KÄSTLE:
Please ask again next winter. I will try to create one this season.
Three reasons why KÄSTLE:
I’ve alway trusted Austrian skis – and when you are on the mountain you have to trust yourself and your gear. Kästle has a long history and excellent skis – especially for those who are in search of the perfect descent.
What do you do in the summer?
Rock climbing, kayaking, mountain biking, golf, tennis, reading, hang out with friends and my family. Travelling. And of course I train for the next season to be in good shape.
Music:
Everything that does not sound like the copy of anything, that means all the songs not played on the radio. But there is one hero – Justin Timberlake!
Role models/Idols that inspire you?
Nobody special. For everything I do I get my inspiration from my friends.
Passions:
I feed my legs with meters in altitude, my head with knowledge and my belly with good food.
