Sally is a Rossland local who started skiing by following her ski patrol parents around RED, learning their secret stashes and setting up the occasional bamboo line. She started competing in junior big mountain freeski competitions at age 11. In her first competition, the head judge said that she would be “a threat to the future of freeskiing” and she took that to heart, winning 16 competitions over the next 6 years.

Her biggest highlights include winning the North American Freeski Championships twice at Snowbird and Crystal Mountain. Sally was in the Red Freeski Academy her entire highschool career, growing from a young straggler to a team leader by her final year. After high school, she moved to Calgary to pursue electrical engineering degree and took a hiatus from competitive skiing. During that time she helped coach the Red Freeski Team when they competed at Lake Louise.

Sally is now embracing being a weekend warrior and has competed in multiple FWQ events over the past 3 years, and loves passing her competition experience to other athletes! @sallysteeves
