FEATURED ATHLETE: HELAINA RIVERS 

Name a person who inspires you to be a better skier?

People that inspire me to become a better ski racer are my dad, Mikaela Shiffrin, Sofia Goggia, Anna Swenn-Larsson, Lindsey Vonn and Wendy Holdener.

What would you do if you won the lottery?

If I won the lottery I would buy more ski gear, an apple watch, and the rest of the money would pay for highschool, college, and a house for me when I am older.

Favorite chairlift and why?

My favorite chairlift at Windham Mountain is B-lift because you get to have long conversations with your friends and watch people ski down ” Wheelchair”.

Gear you are loving right now, on or off the ski slopes, and why?

I enjoy skiing on Atomic skis because they are responsive and complement my skiing style. I also enjoy wearing my Briko helmet.

How do you think the year 2020 will shape the future of skiing?

My 2020/2021 ski season was very different because we had to keepour faces covered for our safety. We had less races than a normal season. Covid had a major impact on my ski season this year. I plan on skiing in college and hopefully competing in higher level competitions. I would like to become an accomplished skier and outdoor person.
