GRETE ELIASSEN
Professional Skier / Speaker / Guest Coach
Hi, my name is Grete Eliassen and I have been skiing professionally for over 20 years. I was one of the pioneers of freeskiing when I quit the Norwegian Ski Racing Team at the age of 16 to focus on halfpipe, slopestyle, big air, rail jams and landing tricks into powder. Consequently, I became the first woman in freeskiing to win Gold at X Games. And I still hold the female world record for jumping 31 feet on a hip jump.
Currently, I am an athlete at Armada Skis, Whistler Blackcomb and I am a Captain for the Women's Sports Foundation (WSF). I love the feeling I get when I am on my skis or snowboard, flying down the mountain and popping off a jump. I hope to create more opportunities for everyone to enjoy the mountains just like I have.
“Grete is the ultimate
hype woman”
