McKenna Peterson is a pro skier, that’s rad, but being the captain of the Atlantis and an Alaskan Commercial Fisherman is what separates her badassery from the rest of the pro ski world. Born into a ski bum family, McKenna had early Olympic dreams, but racing never materialized for her. Neither did big mountain contests, but they helped McKenna find her tribe, and she was able to parlay that into a 15-year career of pro skiing in the winter and Captain in the summer. On the podcast, we talk Sun Valley, racing, partying, opportunities, Crazy Karl, and so much more. Amie Engerbretson asks the ‘Inappropriate Questions.

Learning to meet life with tender grace rather than brute force— to embrace my vulnerabilities and within them, find my superpower. Masculine meet feminine.

This is one of the most beautiful couloirs I have skied. Little did I know that I was carrying an ovarian cyst the size of a softball up this couloir. Or that 6 days later this cyst (an endometrioma) would kill my left ovary and in the process try to kill me. Resulting in emergency open abdominal surgery in Yakima, Wa, as I was traveling to Seattle when my symptoms got so severe that I drove myself to the ER.
My body is angry. My body is also incredible. This is now my 6th surgery in 2 years— that is a hell of a lot of stress, trauma and pharmaceuticals. But like before, I will bounce back. Softer, with more knowledge & more grace, I will again return to the body that can boot pack 4,000 ft and giggle as the well earned powder hits my face. A reminder that our strength is greater than we perceive it to be and we can do hard things. All of the hard things. ❤️

For me, @sistersummit_ is about connecting. Connecting with other women, connecting with nature and connecting with myself. My intention going into Sister Summit this year was ‘support’. Support for all of these things.
I left the week feeling wrapped in an infinite hug.
Thank you Sisters. Thank you Norway. ❤️

Two weeks in the Lyngen Alps:
Couloir hunting, @xtratuf approaches, deep pow, crazy winds, big days and ocean dips.
New friends, new mountains and so much more to see.
I can’t wait to return.
