My name is Laurenne Ross. I was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and have been an Oregonian for 25 years. I grew up in the mountains: skiing, exploring, and marveling at their wonder. When I began racing at age 6, I had an experience that transformed me for the rest of my life -- speeding down the hill, hurdling between the trees, witnessing the snow and magic shimmering around me. I was hooked.
I now race on the World Cup alpine circuit, have been to 6 World Championships and raced in the 2014 and 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia and Pyeongchang, South Korea. I have been on two World Cup podiums and have achieved 26 top-ten World Cup results. But a successful Olympic athlete is not all that I aspire to be...
Beginning at age two, I was introduced to the arts through music: I began playing piano. Seven years later I took up the violin, and I now travel with my guitar, singing through my journey. I began making my own paper when I was three, started drawing before I remember, and began taking photographs on my travels when I realized that my experiences in athletics could be explored and expressed through a different medium. These alternative pursuits have allowed me to connect to the places I travel and the people I meet with a transformed and diverse perspective.
Community is incredibly important to me. I volunteer through programs such as Athletes for Hope, Fast and Female, Boys and Girls Club of Oregon, Share Winter, and Winter 4 Kids. Empowering young athletes and dreamers to reach their full potential has always driven me to become better and lead with passion, determination and innovation. One of my deepest desires is to inspire the people around me to courageously follow their dreams. I truly believe that I can achieve this goal simply by whole-heartedly pursuing my passions and sharing my experiences.
So...why are you here? What do you want to learn? How can we grow together to make the world a better place? Let's engage in conversation, sing together, dream together, and create positive change. Through love, through hope, through intention and through joy. Please leave feedback below about what you want to see more of on my website! And thanks for following <3
