Congrats to Ava Thurston on her nomination to the US Ski Team!
Often, we tie very successful skiers to only their greatest achievements. But the experiences that brought Ava to international skiing are relatable, and very human.
Ava skied a lot growing up, and attended countless NENSA BKL Festivals. She won some sprint heats, and crashed out of others, too. She has won fitness tests at one REG camp, and gone to the hospital after falling off a razor scooter at another REG camp.
Ava had a birthday where she qualified for a championship at Nationals, and a birthday where she missed a championship team at Nationals.
Ava has always taken setbacks as learning opportunities, and through this learning has continued to grow and expand her skillset to become a seriously tough competitor. She often doesn’t give herself enough credit for her accomplishments, but this one is worth celebrating.
