Maggie's Olympic Journey
Maggie was chosen for the U.S. Olympic team in 2014. She was going to compete in the women's slopestyle event at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Sadly, she broke her right leg above her ankle. This injury meant she could not compete in the Olympics that year.
At just 15 years old, Maggie would have been the youngest American to compete in the Winter Olympics since 1972. Even though she couldn't compete, being selected was a huge achievement!
X Games Success
Maggie has won many medals at the Winter X Games. In 2014, she won a silver medal in slopestyle. This made her the youngest skier ever to win a medal at the X Games. She has also won gold medals in slopestyle in 2019 and 2023. Maggie has also earned silver and bronze medals in big air and slopestyle events.
Training and Fun
During the summer, Maggie often trains at Mt. Hood, Oregon. She hosts special "Takeover Sessions" at Windells Camp. This is a great way for her to share her passion for skiing with others.
