Wendy Fisher

Wendy was born in California and learned to ski at Squaw Valley. She made her international skiing debut in 1986 and was named to the U.S. Ski Team in 1987, at 15 years old. She made the World Junior Teams in 1989 and 1990. In 1991, she won the U.S. Nationals Overall title. By age 20, Wendy earned a spot on the 1992 Winter Olympic team (Albertville, France), qualifying for the downhill/slalom combined and giant slalom. After her time on the national team, her passion for freeskiing led her to win two World Extreme Skiing Championships, a Pro Tour title, and a spot in the first X Games Women’s Skier-Cross. Wendy has appeared in numerous ski films with top companies like Warren Miller Entertainment, Matchstick Productions, and Switchback Entertainment, challenging conventions and inspiring women to push themselves, compete, and star in big mountain ski films. She has used her platform as an ambassador for the sport of skiing, representing Crested Butte Mountain for 30 years. After retiring from competitive freeskiing, Wendy started a series of girls’ ski camps. Her dedication to local ski culture, passion for coaching, and commitment to family have made her a beloved figure in her community.
