We at Arctic Heli Skiing are fortunate to meet many good skiers through our work and sometimes even great skiiers. When working last winter in Iceland with ski movie legends Warren Miller we got to know three more great skiers. There was one big difference in the skiers group this time, all of them were girls. Two of them we knew of before they arrived; Olympic gold medalist Julia Mancuso and freeskiing world tour champion Jess McMillan. The third one, Sierra Quitiquit was a new name in the book for us.

So, let´s meet Sierra Quitiquit

It´s easy to judge Sierra Quitiquit wrongly by the first look. We all know that beautiful girls working as a models can´t be great skiers, or what? When reading comments on one of the webpages that posted her newest video you´ll see comments like "She's a pro skier's girlfriend, and thus makes it into ski movies" and "Conditions and slopes like that would make anyone look good".
When browsing through her webpage you find the modelling pictures you would expect and then suddenly some gnarly looking skiing photos in the middle, because she is as hard core skier as they get.

Sierra is an easy going free spirit which is fun to be around on daily basis. When she put´s on her bright pink ski outfit, helmet and goggles the other Sierra comes out. She shows you the strength and determination it takes to ski the steepest mountain faces and the hardest slopes around. The whole time she´s skiing you´ll here here screams of joy and laughter echo in the mountains.
