When did you start skiing? How did you get started?

I started skiing at the age of 5 with my twin, Kaylee Koehler, and my dad.

What inspired you to get into freestyle skiing? How old were you? What was your first club ?

I started liking the sport because I would have so much fun skiing with my twin. We would always push each other and I always told myself “if she can do it, I can”. We were always a team, training and progressing together, helping each other to become even greater in the sport … and also always so proud of each other!! That definitely pushed me to continue the sport.

My dad signed us up with club du ski acrobatique le relais.

What are your skiing career goals?

I have many goals but my most important one is to always give my best. Give my 100% in all my runs. Be disciplined and work hard.

How do you spend your time off the slopes?

When I’m not skiing, you will probably find me doing other sports! I love playing soccer and surfing on the lake in the summer!

What is a fun fact bout you that the average person wouldn’t know?

A unique thing about me is that I’m a twin!

What is your favourite result to date?

My first NorAm win was very special. I felt like my whole team was behind me and I gave everything I had.

Shout-outs?

Shout out to my dad (Ralph Koehler) ’cause he’s the best! I wouldn’t have made it this far without him!
