Bio: Born on April 24, 2002, in bali indonesia, this accomplished skier commenced their snowy journey at the age of 3. Guided by the mentorship of JR, they’ve earned the endearing moniker “Young Jedi” and garnered sponsorship from industry giants like Helly Hansen, K2, Intuition, Dalbello, Marker, and Sweet Protection. Noteworthy achievements include stellar performances in films such as TGR’s “Legend Has It” (2023) and Warren Miller’s “All Time” (2023). The thrill of navigating RED’s tree-lined slopes holds a special place in their heart, with “The Red Sucks” video being their go-to for winter inspiration. Their favorite run is Links Line, and off-slope pursuits include snowmobiling, mountain biking, and filmmaking. With a commitment to preseason gym rituals, they live by the mantra “giver” and unwind at Rafters with nachos and Rossland Beer Co. beer. Envisioning a future island life, they see themselves riding the waves with a surfboard in hand ten years from now.
