Brita Sigourney
Brita Sigourney may be a newcomer in freeskiing, but she is already taking the sport by storm. She soared past expectations at her X games debut in 2011, where she took home the silver medal in the halfpipe, and followed it with a bronze in the 2012 games.
Now a member of the newly formed U.S. Freeskiing Team, Brita continues to set new markers. Brita made ski history when she stuck a 1080 in the 2012 Winter X games, becoming the first woman to land one in a full women’s ski superpipe run. Brita has snagged 3 first place finishes and 2 second place finishes at the U.S. Grand Prixs.
In January of 2014, Brita became the second US woman to secure an Olympic spot on the US Freeskiing team. In February, Brita competed at her first Olympic Games in the debut year of Freestyle skiing as an Olympic sport.
When not on the slopes, Brita can be found in class at Westminster, where she is finishing up her degree in graphic design, a passion she hopes to integrate into the ski industry one day. The California native also loves travelling, the outdoors and of course, the beach.
