For the second year in a row Grete Eliassen American-born, Norwegian-raised skier, visited Wintergreen Resort to meet and greet fans. Grete won back-to-back gold at WX ‘06 and ‘05 and silver at WX ‘07. Grete distinguishes herself from the other women by going huge in the pipe. She learned to ski in Minnesota but raced as a teenager for the Norwegian Nat’l Ski Team when her family moved there in 1999. Our Paul Purpura grabbed these shots as Grete met her fans. She also handed out awards and was the commentator at this year’s Double Cross Competition.
