Katie’s Bio
My name is Katie Hesom. I’m 17 years old and I’m a competitive freeride skier. I am from Whitefish, a small town in Montana. I’m a senior in high school, and it is my final year competing in IFSA Juniors. This will be my third season, and I couldn’t be more excited! When I’m not skiing, I’m probably wake surfing, skateboarding, rock climbing, traveling, with friends, and outdoors as much as possible.
