Ali Spencer has loved skiing for as long as she can remember. Spencer, who was raised in Fayston, grew up skiing at Mad River Glen before attending ski racing academy Green Mountain Valley School (GMVS) for high school, where she graduated in 2010.
As a child, Spencer thought she would grow up to be a professional skier. “I wanted to be a ski racer!” she said. However, a traumatic injury led her to rethink her life path. “I had an ACL injury fairly young, when I was 15,” she said. While recovering from her injury, Spencer was exposed to another side of ski racing: athletic training and rehabilitation. “I saw the athletic training side of ski racing through that injury. I saw that it was a path I could take but still be involved in ski racing. Fifteen-year-old me was like, I could do this!”
