Hazel Birnbaum is a big mountain skier of Tahoe and also an athlete on the Freeride World Tour! In this SICK edit she shows off her skills not only on the tour, but off. Some people may wonder what Freeride World Tour athletes do when they’re not competing, well Hazel made it pretty obvious, THEY SKI!
“Last season for me was tumultuous to say the least, I was continually caught up in all the tiny little dramas, and expectations that life creates. This fall as I waded through ski footage from last season, one thing remained apparent, skiing supplies me endless joy and happiness. I wanted to make an edit that showed this. I am a skier and an athlete. Whether or not you share the same passion as me, or an entirely different one, one message should remain constant, find your joy and don’t let it go,” stated Hazel Birnbaum about her experiences in the winter of 2016.
