Sierra Quitiquit started her early life as a pro skier in the form of speed skiing. Sierra's upbringing was unique and unconventional, chasing the snow from the age of 2 with her family, sometimes living in the back of a bus. However that time in the mountains resulted in a beautiful outlook on life and deep connection to nature as well as creating an incredible athlete in Sierra.

In this episode Sierra talks about how she combines the three very different worlds of skiing, modelling and activism in a unique way that feels true and authentic to her. You will learn that it wasn't an easy road and what it took for Sierra to make this life a reality.
