Author: Tim Remick

Hi Abigale, Hows it going? How was your 2016/17 season?

My season was awesome! I was able to travel a bunch and walk away learning some new tricks and a couple podiums.

Right on! You came home with a win at the Aspen Open, this year. Want to tell us a little more about how that went from your POV?

Aspen was super fun, I learned a new trick in training and was pumped to put it in my run. It was by far one of the funniest competitions this year! Girls were throwing down and we all were pushing each other which is just how it should be competing a bunch of girls having fun and pushing each other to do the best they can.

What is your favorite competition or venue to travel to each year?

My favorite Venue to travel to would be the Grand Prix every year, The Grand prix at the beginning of the year in copper is super fun because everyone is getting back into the competition grind after summer training. You get to use a lot of the new things you learned over summer training, which is always interesting and fun to do!

How do you usually prepare for your competition? Do you have a favorite/preferred place to go train?

I always end up out in copper preparing for all of the competitions at the beginning of the year, which is super fun but super cold! Before I head out to copper I’m usual in the gym at home as much as possible getting strong before the long seasons.

Outside of skiing, what else to you like to do for fun?

Outside of skiing I like to Mountain Bike, swim and Hike when I can.  I love spending my time outdoors!

Thats awesome! got any favorite Favorite tunes you listen to before a comp?

I have to say my two go to artists are Beyoncé and Joan Jett on competition days.

Abigale, Thank you for joining us! We wish you all the best and hope you enjoy your summertime.  Any shoutouts before you go?

Shout out to my Friends who make skiing fun, and my sponsors: Monster Army, Head skis, Mammoth Mountain, and POC Sports, who make it possible for me to do what I love.
