In this exclusive interview, Zoe Atkin reflects on her freeskiing journey—from early days on snow with her sister to becoming one of the most dominant superpipe skiers in the world. The reigning World Champion, OR athlete, and current world #1 sits down with Outdoor Research to talk about the moments, influences, and lessons that shaped her career. Zoe opens up about growing up in a ski family, watching her sister compete on the world stage, and how setbacks early in her career helped sharpen her focus and resilience. She also reflects on last season’s World Championship win and what it means to enter the next chapter of her career at the top of the sport.
