Most foreigners come to the US for college as their last stop as a ‘pro skier.’ There have been a few exceptions over the year, including Jasmi Jonsuu, a Finnish skier who attended the University of Denver before she raced her way onto the Finland National Ski Team. In this episode we chat about her journey, traveling across the pond and emerging herself into the NCAA system, falling in love with Colorado and parts of the US, to then find her way back to her homeland to chase an Olympic dream. 

Jasmi will be racing at the World Championships starting next week in Planica, Slovenia. You can follow her on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasmijoensuu/
