GET TO KNOW JESSIE
How did you get into Cross Country skiing?
I got into skiing because of my family - we’ve always loved being active outdoors, and my parents love to ski. So when I was born they kept going out skiing every weekend and put me in the backpack!
You do some epic dance routines on social media.
Which is your favorite to date?
I take House dance classes in Boston in the spring, and I love the challenge to both my coordination and brain in memorizing new steps! But on the road, any Tik-Tok dance trend is fair game. I’m definitely not afraid to embarrass myself!

What is one thing most people don't know about you?
One thing most people don’t know about me is that I’ve been racing with some sassy jewelry in my ears all winter long…and you can’t read them unless you zoom in on the photo. (hint, hint…they’re a Larissa Loden pair of 4-letter worded studs) :)
A portion of the sales from this collab is being donated to Protect Our Winters
Why is this organization for important to you?
I’ve been on the board of Protect Our Winters for a couple years now, and part of the athlete alliance as well. We depend on snow to ski, of course, but more importantly I think it’s the right thing to do to use our voices to ask for big changes in order to protect our planet for future generations. I want my grandkids to have the chance to experience real winter and build a snowman!
