Six-time New Zealand Open Freeski Champion, two-time Canadian Freeski Champion and two -time World Heli Challenge Champion. What more does one need to say? How about one of the greatest professional female skiers of all time?

Janina grew up all over the world, from Papua New Guinea to Borneo to Australia. New Zealand naturalized, residing in Wanaka New Zealand and a New Zealand freeski team member, she has always had a love for the mountains.

She made her first appearance in 2005 competing on the Canadian Freeski tour where she dominated the Canadian scene. Not only does this girl compete in the Big Mountain, but also can shred in the park having many podiums in pipe. In 2009 Janina became the first women to win a Big Mountain and Pipe title in the NZ open.

Now, Janina has set her sites on the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics for the debut of women’s Half Pipe Skiing.
