Lucy Sackbauer
United StatesBio & Athlete Information
Sackbauer was raised in Vail, Colorado, with skiing being a big part of her family’s life. She became an alpine racer at a young age, and in high school found she liked telemark skiing as well. She trained and competed in both so she could be outside and ski every day. As a nursing student at Montana State University, Sackbauer took her textbooks with her to the mountain studying in the lodge between runs, all in an effort to maintain her outside lifestyle.
\r\n\r\nNow calling Ketchum, Idaho home Sackbauer enjoys a balanced life as a critical care nurse and professional skier. Career highlights include being a five-time winner of Grand Targhee Big Mountain Telemark Competition, skiing in Matchstick Production’s film “Huck Yeah”, and working at Ketchum’s St. Luke’s Hospital during the Pandemic when the city was listed as having the highest number of COVID cases per capita in the world.
\r\n\r\n"I live to be outdoors and in the mountains, and I love and live to ski, so being included in the Nordica Family is an incredible opportunity” explains Lucy. “I’ve already been lucky enough to collaborate with a group of women, from all different backgrounds, on the future of women’s products. I left feeling uplifted, inspired, included, and heard! I’m excited to help create more of a space in the skiing community for women and to shape the evolution of Nordica products."
", "sl": "Lucy Sackbauer je odraščala v Veilu v zvezni državi Kolorado, kjer ji je bilo smučanje položeno v zibko. Tekmovati je začela že v mladih letih, v srednji šoli pa ugotovila, da ji odgovarja tudi tehnika smučanja telemark. Trenirala in nastopala je v obeh disciplinah, da je bila lahko prav vsak dan na snegu. Kot študentka zdravstvene nege na Državni univerzi v Montani je na treninge in tekme nosila gradivo in študirala - vse za to, da je lahko čim več časa preživela na snegu.
\n\nDanes živi v kraju Ketchum v Idahu, kjer uživa v ravnovesju med svojim poklicem medicinske sestre na oddelku intenzivne nege ter profesionalnim smučanjem.\nNjeni največji karierni uspehi vključujejo zmago na tekmovanju Grand Targhee Big Mountain Telemark Competition, smučanje v filmu “Hell Yeah” in delo v bolnišnici St. Luke’s Hospital v Ketchumu med pandemijo, ko je bilo mesto Ketchum neslavno uvrščeno na najvišje mesto po številu okužb s covidom na prebivalca na svetu.
\n\n“Živim za to, da sem lahko zunaj, v hribih, da lahko smučam, zato je članstvo v družini Nordice zame velika čast,” pravi Lucy. “Že sicer sem imela srečo, da sem sodelovala s skupino žensk različnih porekel pri oblikovanju ženskih izdelkov naslednje generacije. Počutila sem se poživljeno, navdahnjeno, vključeno in slišano! Veselim se, da bom lahko še naprej pomagala ustvarjati varno okolje za ženske v smučarski skupnosti in sooblikovala prihodnje Nordicine izdelke.”
