Bio

At just 17 years old, Vanessa Coletta is one skier to watch. She loves living her life and surrounding herself with good, honest people. It was in her hometown Les Menuires in the breath taking French Alps where she discovered her untapped talent for alpine skiing just two years ago. Prior to downhill skiing she spent her free time on cross-country skiis and dancing. Vanessa’s 13-year old brother has been her inspiration and tribute to her love for freestyle skiing as he shares equal passion for the sport.

Vanessa is self-motivated to work hard at improving her tricks and skills. She loves slopestyle and big air events and is hoping to perfect the Cork 540 and the 900 for a great result at the Freestyle Open next year. Other goals for this rising star would be getting a strong switch take off, style grabs, 207 on rails and riding the half-pipe. She rides the Wista Pro Roxy skis and loves the way they give her a solid ride. With her determination and focus these ambitions aren’t too far from her reach.

Whether or not she is competing in-season or training off-season, Vanessa stays active even off her skis. She loves the trampoline, skateboarding, mountain hiking, biking, swimming, and climbing. This summer she plans on spending as much time as possible at ski camps around the world. She will start with Les 2 Alps in France this June followed by weeks of training in Norway and finishing her summer in New Zealand. She is excited for her future and loves traveling and meeting new friends. Roxy is proud to have her on the team!
