Wendy Fisher - Mountain Ambassador

Former Olympian and US Extreme Freeskiing Champion 

World Champion, Wendy Fisher is an icon in the sport of big mountain freeskiing, also known as extreme skiing.  Her successful freeskiing career has included traveling the globe to film with production companies including Matchstick Productions and Warren Miller.

Prior to her film career, Fisher was a member of the U.S. Ski Team, competed at the 1992 Olympics in Albertville, France, won the 1991 U.S. Nationals overall, in addition to taking home two Extreme Freeskiing world titles. 

In 2009 Freeskier Magazine named Fisher one of the “seven most influential women in skiing.”  Throw in Gravity Games, X-Games, and ski mountaineering experience and there's nothing Fisher hasn't sampled in the high-stakes, high-speed world of cutting-edge skiing.
 
Fisher is a full time resident of Mt. Crested Butte, CO along with her husband and two sons.

Matchstick hall-of-famer Wendy Fisher demonstrates her big mountain prowess and raises the bar for females across the globe. Yes, that’s her backflipping at 0:51… and her full-speed assault on the line at 2:30 still holds its own by today’s standards.

Philosophy

I personally believe one day can really make a difference. I focus on making sure everyone is having fun and helping individual skiers get the most out of their ski day.  Whether they want to work on perfecting their technique or how to ski the area in a different way, I cater to their personal goals on skis.  I try to help people get out of their routines or ruts and get them to read terrain differently, ski lines they may not have thought possible before, and become a more efficient and confident skier.
