Thank you, USA. 

I am very blessed to have grown up racing in the USA and have the ability to channel the American Spirit by persevering through challenges and feeling

free to take my chances. 

​

I remember getting the call from the U.S. Ski Team during my first driving lesson when I was 16. I remember the dream. The excitement. The love for ski racing. I was a member of the U.S. Ski Team from 2011-17 and USST contributed to many opportunities and relationships for which I am forever grateful.

With the amazing support of those who keep the faith - including my sponsors, partners, family, friends and fans - I achieved many goals: I won four U.S. National Championship titles in three different disciplines, four NorAm SL titles, have top-fives in Europa Cups and have scored World Cup points. Much of my success has come as an independent racer in the last seven years. 

Now, I carry that attitude with me to my other homeland, Slovenia, and will represent this exceptional country with the same passion, determination, grit and grace. A new country and ski team, different mountains and flag — still Red, White & Blue forever.

Love, Lila
