Kelly Sildaru quickly made a name for herself as a rising freeski star. Her videos on YouTube – such as the short film, Wanted – amassed a large fan base and helped her to break out onto the international circuit.

Born and raised in Estonia, Kelly quickly became fixated on skiing. But not only is the ski season in Estonia extremely short but there also isn’t much of a scene for it there. Such things weren’t going to stop her from accomplishing her dreams, though. Her sheer love for the sport, combined with an astounding natural ability to effortlessly pull off tricks that some pros wouldn’t dare attempt, led her parents to travel the world looking for new and challenging experiences for their daughter.
