Meet Winter Vinecki: Olympic Hopeful, Record-Breaker, and Inspiration

Meet Winter Vinecki, a remarkable 26-year-old aerial skier who's already achieved more than many do in a lifetime. Currently training for the 2026 Olympics, Vinecki is no stranger to records and challenges, having started a non-profit at age nine and becoming the youngest person to run a marathon on all seven continents at 14.

Vinecki's journey began when she was just nine years old. Inspired by her father's cancer diagnosis, she started a non-profit called 'Team Winter' to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Her dedication and passion have been evident throughout her life.

After graduating from the University of Utah in 2021, Vinecki made her Olympic debut in 2022. She's since become a force to reckon with in aerial skiing, winning multiple World Cup events, including those held in China and Moscow. Her latest goal? The 2026 Olympics.

Vinecki's not just an athlete; she's an inspiration. She and her mother became the first mother-daughter duo to run a marathon on every continent. At 14, Vinecki set the record for being the youngest person to achieve this incredible feat.

Off the slopes, Vinecki is pursuing a law degree online from St. Mary's University in Texas. She's also shared her story in a book titled 'Winter's Rise', detailing her journey coping with her father's loss and pursuing her Olympic dreams. With her determination, resilience, and impressive skill set, Winter Vinecki continues to break barriers and inspire others.
