Bella Bacon’s name is synonymous with her style. Born to a father who was a professional snowboarder and a mother who skied, the New York native could ski before she could walk. “From the moment I started skiing, I was in love with the sport more than anything else in the world. I knew I didn’t have any other plans with my life,” she says.
Bella began competing at her local ski hill dubbed “The Freestyle Factory.” The freestyle phenom quickly climbed the ranks to join the U.S. Freeski Team at just 16-years-old. In pursuit of her long-term Olympic dream, Bella and her family relocated to Utah where she had access to more progressive terrain, along with Team USA coaching and camaraderie. Bella’s success within the sport is attributed to her relentless work ethic, her unmatched passion, and her ability to overcome mental and physical setbacks.
