Mikaela Shiffrin
This snow bunny is not afraid to take on her male counterparts.
As part of the U.S. Ski Team, Mikaela Pauline Shiffrin started off by specializing in the technical segments of both the slalom and the giant slalom. However, last year she made the change and participated in the super-G and combined.
Though she finished 18th in her debut race, she showed improvements by finishing 13th the next day. That may not seem much, but she is the current Slalom world champion and Olympic champion.
She was even the youngest professional skier to be slalom champion. One of her motivations to excel can be seen at the back of her helmet which is “A.B.F.T.T.B.” According to USA Today, this refers to her mantra of being “Always Be Faster Than the Boys.”

Are there any female skiers from Italy or Poland?
I am 50% of each (some people call me a POWOP).
Please let me know.
13? I only see 1 on this blog (probably Lindsey Vonn).
If you want to add another one, choose Justine Dafour Lapointe from Canada.
Actually the skier is Tatum Monod (my apologies).
You keep changing the picture?!
Today, it is Lindsey Vonn again!
Hi,
You will need to go to the next pages for more pictures. Its a slideshow of 13 pages/pictures.
Sorry. It should be Justine DUFOUR Lapointe.
You say 13 pictures but you only have 12 pages and 11 girls.
The first page is always a picture of one of the girls on the list (in my case Lindsey or Tatum).
Then you repeat the same name as the slideshow continues.
Even if you add JUSTINE DUFOUR LAPOINTE, you will still be ONE short.
I don’t know how I missed those boxes (PREV and NEXT).
I am usually quite astute at picking those out on other blogs.
