Before Michelle Parker skied she was a baseball player. But then she became a ski racer. Then she did the freestyle thing. Not to mention she’s way into mountain biking and climbing. Now, she just rips the backcountry. Why do we mention all this? Because Michelle Parker is one hell of an athlete. And in this new edit from her Originate series with Red Bull, that athleticism is on full display. The woman has some seriously incredible style, too, especially in powder.
We hosted Michelle this summer at our EVOLVE Summit and she’s a gifted speaker as well. She spoke on women finding their voices in the action sports realm with Keala Kennelly and Bianca Valenti, two of the best big wave surfers in the world. Suffice it to say, neither Kennelly nor Valenti has had to deal with an avalanche the way Parker has: check out the sluff that turns into a full-on slide that tumbles over 2,000 feet after Parker ski cuts the slope at the 2:30 mark. Yikes!
