Jenny Liljegren, 22, hails from Sweden. She used to travel the world racing SkiCross on the World Cup circuit and was an olympic hopeful but threw in the life of gated pressure for freedom and fun. She first visited Whistler four years ago whilst on holiday, she returned several times for both skiing and biking, and eventually applied for a work permit so she could move to Whistler for longer. She works as a buser in a popular local breakfast restaurant which allows her to ride most days.

An ice princess turned from gate basher to powder hound,
This place as cold ivory she first found,
But soon the melt and thaw,
Revealed a locale with so much more.
Edges, boots and poles exchanged in the spring,
For Minions, Stealth rubber, and a 36 tooth ring.
A dark haired maiden from the land of the nordic fox,
Not fitting of the stereotype of the platinum locks.
Fem Dag or five days a week,
Busing tables there’s rent to meet.
However a shift slipped or skipped,
Is one more day the Park can be ripped.
