ABOUT LARA

Lara started skiing at three years old and at five received her first snowboard, immediately falling in love with the sport. From a young age she enjoyed free riding, but it wasn’t until she was 10 that she discovered racing.

Lara loves to compete with all of her friends and enjoys meeting people all over the world. She is inspired by Australian Olympian Josie Baff for her enthusiasm and positive mindset and was lucky enough to compete alongside her at the 2023 Junior World Championships.

In 2022, Lara won the Australian Junior FIS Snowboard Cross series which she considers a career highlight.
