Contents

Born in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, McKennis grew up on a ranch west of town, near New Castle. She learned to ski and race at nearby Sunlight Ski Area and, after racing for various major clubs in the state, finished at Rowmark Ski Academy in Salt Lake City, Utah. She made her World Cup debut in December 2008, but spent the 2009 season on the Nor-Am circuit.

McKennis was named to the World Cup squad of the U.S. Ski Team for the 2010 season and also made the 2010 Olympic team. She missed most of the 2011 season due to a fracture to her left tibial plateau in early January. [1] McKennis won her first World Cup (and podium) in 2013, a downhill at St. Anton, Austria, on January 12. [2] She suffered a similar tibial plateau injury to her other (right) knee in March at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. [3]
