BIOGRAPHY:
A product of the renowned Waterville Valley Freestyle program, Lee began skiing at the age of four. After a stint of racing, she followed her brother on to the Okemo Freestyle team and didn’t look back. Seven NorAm podiums including one win in the 2011 season earned her the overall title. She further demonstrated her talent with a fourth-place result at U.S. Championships.
ALLISON SAYS:
I feel like my season went better than I ever expected. It was my first season back and I ended up winning the NorAm Grand Prix and getting on the podium at most of the NorAms I competed in. I also competed in my first World Cup, which felt pretty unreal and amazing. I made [the U.S. Ski Team] when I was 18 and I had to take two years off due to injury and I started school, so to remake it, my first year back feels pretty unreal. I hope to compete in a few more World Cups next season and hopefully in two years be on the World Cup circuit. I also hope to up my degree of difficulty each year.
FIRST TRACKS:
Allison began skiing around the age of four. She learned how to ski at Smuggler's Notch in Vermont and soon after, her family bought a condo at Okemo in Vermont, where she quickly joined the race team. Her brother was on the freestyle team, and sometimes she would go with his team in the park to do spread eagles. The thrill she got from jumping was something she had never felt before. Soon after she began competing in freestyle skiing, the rest is history.
OFF THE SNOW:
Allison loves hanging out with friends, riding her bike, doing yoga, going to the beach, and going to Red Sox games.
