Name and nickname(s):
Phillipa Hunt, Pip

Age:
21

First time on skis:
1 ½, I literally learned how to walk and was strapped onto a nice pink and white plastic pair of skis.

Hometown:
Crested Butte, Co

Why Snowbird:
Because Snowbird is awesome! At the ‘Bird I can always find someone to ride with in the tram line, ski lines that scare me, and I am always really tired at the end of the day

Favorite run at Snowbird:
Baldy

Inside tip for skiing Snowbird:
Follow Carston, not me

If I could ski with any three people (living or deceased) at Snowbird I would choose:
Asher Crank, Molly Baker, Carston Oliver, and Andy Sabatier, ok so that’s four, but it happens!

If I wasn’t a pro skier I’d be:
I have no idea, probably writing about something other than skiing.

Something people would be surprised to know about me:
I didn’t really enjoy skiing till I was 14, I really wanted to be a ballerina instead.

I’m inspired by:
On the mountain; my friends who are out there smiling and pushing themselves everyday. In life; passion.

Best mountain culture slang word or phrase:
style style style STEEZ

What you’ll find on my nightstand:
I always have my journal, water, vitamins and whatever book I’m currently reading, which is currently Vineland by Thomas Pynchon

To unwind, I…
drink wine, cook a big dinner, read a book or write.

Grape Nuts or Lucky Charms?
Neither, I’m gluten intolerant, go Puffins!! Peanut butter flavour is the best!
