Mitchey Greig, 21, Freestyle Skiing

Introduction

Mitchey is on track to qualify for the motocross of winter sports at Vancouver – Skier X. She’s an athlete with an eye on the extreme and loves the combination of adrenaline, speed and a good laugh. For Mitchey it’s the big air and non-stop action that she loves about her sport and she’s looking to throw down her best performance at Vancouver. She regards Coronet Peak as her home mountain and is very proud of her New Zealand roots. Check out the big NZ on the back of her ski suit in our video clip. Mitchey says she is inspired to excel by "the feeling of winning, or achieving a goal, usually involving a good adrenaline rush & laugh along the way is an addiction! You could say I'm addicted"
