Ski & Snowboard

I started skiing and snowboarding when I was four. I compete in alpine racing and boardercross as one of eight members of the provincial team.

A few proud moments.

Training across seasons

After my first competitive season, I worked on preparing through the summer as well as during winter. Snowboarding has become a regular commitment alongside school, music, and my projects.

Family trips

Both my parents love ski and snowboard very much, that's why I had the chance to learn both ski and snowboard.
We went to ski in each Christmas and Chinese New Year holiday.
