Olympic gold for Chamonix resident

Sarah, a relative late-comer to the sport, (she's almost a decade older than silver medalist Gremaud) got her first taste of freestyle skiing at the "Cardiff Steeze Academy", the freeskiing arm of Cardiff University's snowsports club. After making an impact with her ballsy skiing on the annual university ski trip, she quickly started not only competing but placing well in freestyle competitions on the university scene.

Post-university she chose to pursue skiing, doing seasons in Val d'Isere and Val Thorens while working her way up in the freestyle world. She got her world cup start in 2016 with the Swiss Freeski team and, starting as she meant to go on, won the FIS Slopestyle Crystal Globe at the end of her debut season. In January of 2018, she won the Big Air at the Aspen X-Games and now, as Olympic champion, she has cemented her position at the top of the freestyle skiing world.

She now resides in Chamonix, not only a useful base for frequent travel but also as a place to feed her passions. Sarah is an avid and well-rounded mountain woman, filling her spare time and off-seasons with ski touring, mountaineering and rock climbing.
