Skiing with her family in Sun Valley, Idaho, and fishing in Alaska
under the tutelage of her father shaped how McKenna Peterson
navigates life. She learned dedication, resilience, hard work, and
how to adjust plans while on the move. McKenna has an uncanny
ability to try new things, seemingly without fear. At the
University of Colorado, McKenna balanced studies and ski racing
before she committed to competing in the Freeride World Tour. Then
she eyed a pro ski career. In 2017, following the tragic death of
her father, she took over as captain of the family fishing
business. With every new opportunity, McKenna leaps first and then
builds her own net. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
