Mathilda began skiing at the age of two up at Porters Ski Field, and at six years old, she started racing in the ski team up at Cardona. Her first Interfield race was at Coronet Peak, and from here, there was no looking back. Her love for the mountains and the outdoors led to a full-time move to Wānaka.
When she isn't skiing, Mathilda loves hiking in the remote wilderness of New Zealand and biking the local trails. Of course, in the off-season, she can most often be found in the gym.
Mathilda aspires to represent New Zealand at the World Championships, the World Cup circuit, and the Winter Olympics. She also believes in being a great role model to younger athletes entering the sport.
