Wendy was just named one of the seven most influential women in skiing by Freeskier Magazine this month. Below is the opening to the story and click here to read the full article.
“When Wendy Fisher was a freshman in high school in Tahoe, the principal told her parents that if she missed any more school because she was skiing, he would flunk her. Rather than give up the sport, Wendy moved east to Vermont to attend Burke Mountain Academy and made the US Ski team. From there, she went to the Albertville Olympics, but she had a disappointing experience, a crash left her unable to compete. She soon relocated to Crested Butte, found the love of skiing again outside of a race course and became one of the first female athletes to dominate freeski contests, all while filming full segments with Matchstick Productions.”
