“I pretty much thought when I got pregnant all my sponsors would drop me.”
After 13 years as one of the best freeskiers on the planet, Igrid Backstrom was worried her sponsors would drop her if she started a family. Drawing inspiration from other mountain athletes who are also moms, she knew the path forward to having a kid while remaining at the top of her sport would not be easy but was ultimately the best thing she has ever done. Lovely family. Cheers to this crew.
