In this episode we chat to Anne Wangler, German-born freeride skier. Anne has been skiing since the age of two when her parents strapped skis on her and pushed her downhill. From that moment Anne realised that skiing made her happy, this love for ski developed throughout her childhood with ski racing, at 16 she stopped ski racing and started experimenting with ski jumping before finding her try passion for freeride skiing following a trip to Japan. Anne talks to us about what motivates her competitively and where the inner drive for constant improvement comes from. In 2019, Anne suffered a leg injury which has seen her have surgery and a long period away from skiing. She tells us about how she has dealt with the physical and mental challenges of rehabilitation and how she has spent the last 12 months getting her mobility and fitness back with a little bit of her second passion, fly fishing, thrown in.
