ABOUT DAISY

Daisy first started skiing at three years old. Initially training as an alpine skier, Daisy moved over to the mogul program, before finding a passion for slopestyle skiing. The 16-year-old loves being in the mountains and the joy she feels when skiing with friends.

Daisy is inspired by skier Sarah Hoefflin, not only because she is an Olympic gold medallist but has also completed a degree in Neuroscience. Daisy is amazed by her ability to achieve both an academic career and skiing career – something she aspires to achieve herself one day.

In 2023, Daisy placed seventh in both the slopestyle and big air events at the FIS Junior World Championships in Cardrona, NZ. Earlier in the year she also won the World Rookie Tour – an achievement she considers a career highlight. She made her senior World Cup debut in December 2023, finishing seventh in her first final.
