It has taught me that I can be successful for my abilities rather than my appearance.
Skiing has molded me into the person I am today.
However, my deep love for the sport and community feels, at times, unreturned.
It is a masterpiece as a film so shout out to director and dear friend Mathias Skaarup.
However, in both cases, I was left with a feeling of being on the outside.
However, I could not help thinking that it wasabout damn time!
Just look at how the womens SuperUnknown entries have exploded since Rosina sent in her iconic entry.
As Ferdinand wisely says at the end of The League documentary The guys[gals?
]who now are the pros, are now the ones who are responsible for making the change.
Although Ferdinand is not directly speaking of gender equality, these words inspired me to write this piece.
Honestly, I have so many questions: Where was Maudes pro-model when Henrik and Phil received theirs?
Why is Taylor the only woman who was ever invited to XGames Real-Ski?
Why is Sarah Burke not mentioned more often when we talk about the GOATS?
And whatever happened to the womens SLVSH-cup?
Pointing fingers will not solve a problem that is structural.
That meansyouhave to do the work!
The inequality in our sport will not undo itself.
If you made it this far, thank you!
If you disagree with me, thats all good.
