Madison grew up in Traverse City, Michigan and learned to ski on a super small mountain with a tow rope, but worked her way up the ranks of the Michigan ski racing scene. She often longed to ski bigger mountains and in 2013, her wish was granted when her entire family picked up and moved to Utah when Madison was accepted into a ski racing academy. Madison went on to ski race Division 1 at Westminster College in Utah and fell in love with powder skiing and backcountry exploration through her time out west. These days, she is growing professional skiing career and advancing her year-round mountaineering skills. Listen to Madison talk about her love for music, why staying open and curious matters, the power of ice baths, keeping it real on the internet and that one time she slept in an ice cave at an undisclosed location in Wyoming.Big thanks to our sponsors Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, OpenSnow and SKI Magazine.
