My Story

12 year old mogul skier Ava Keenan Ripping a powder line in Vail

THIS IS MY STORY

Hey Guys,

I'm Ava. I'm a 16-year old mogul skier from Vail Colorado.

I just took 3rd at the Toyota U.S. Freestyle National Championships

I am only the second woman in history to podium at Nationals at just 15.

I was just named to the U.S. Freestyle Mogul Development Team

I want to be the first black skier to ever win an Olympic gold medal in skiing.

I'm in the 11th grade and go to Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy. I love it. I've been skiing since I was two but started competing 6 years ago.

My goal this year is to land a cork 720 and a cork mute grab combo in competition.

When I'm not skiing I play golf. I have two sisters, and a dog named Hank! He's the best!

Also, don't forget to check out my merch! I have my own ski line!

The Happy Podcast

Podcast

The Happy Podcast is a podcast about people, success, drive, and ultimately happiness. I'm lucky enough to know some of the most successful mogul skiers in the world and they can teach us a lot about hard work, success, drive, and how to achieve your goals and ultimately happiness.

I will be interviewing mogul skiers to start, but hope to interview more successful happy people outside of mogul skiing and skiing in general.

If I do this right, we're all going to learn a lot about life, success, and what makes other people happy.

Enjoy!

Thanks for listening.

This is probably the most vulnerable thing I’ve ever posted, but I’ve realized that the biggest dreams only happen when you’re willing to step outside of your comfort zone. I know this journey won’t be easy, and I know there will be setbacks, failures, and moments where I question everything but I also know that every great story starts with someone deciding to try. Thank you to everyone who believes in me supports me, or simply follows along. This is only the beginning, and I can’t wait to share every high, every low, and every step of the journey with you. #skiing #journey #followalong #fypage #mogulskiing @kosak.ski
