McKenna Peterson

McKenna skiing powder in the backcountry.

Straight up: McKenna Peterson is a hard-charging pro skier known for sending the hairiest lines and tackling the most grueling alpine ascents. Being considered one of the best big-mountain skiers ever to slash a turn would be enough for most, but not for McKenna. Winter is just half of what makes her the absolute legend she is. Each summer, when the snow’s melted and the clips are stacked, she heads to Alaska as Captain of her fishing vessel Atlantis. When she’s not on the road or water in pursuit of pow or fish, McKenna is getting after it at home in Sun Valley, Idaho.
