Description
Christina Lustenberger, aka Lusti, is an all-around badass in the mountains. Before this certified ACMG guide was killing it in the TGR movies, she was a racer out of Canada and paid for it with 5 full knee re-constructions over 10 years. But even with the injuries, Christina competed in the Olympics and transitioned from race to guide school. On the show we talk racing, guiding, being a woman in a male dominated world, malfunctioning gear and what it took for Lusti to earn the pro skier dream.
