About Kristi Richards

Title: World Champion Freestyle Mogul Skiing

I train six days a week and travel seven months of the year for my sport of freestyle mogul skiing. Sport is my vehicle for self-discovery and growth. It challenges me every day to face my fears, stay committed to my goals, and to manage my thoughts and emotions. I need to truly be in the moment to perform at my best. The challenge of knowing myself has been the most rewarding thing about pursuing my athletic career. Everything needs to be taken into account to reach the level of skiing that I aim for. Meticulous preparation in my mental, physical, technical, nutritional, spiritual and emotional growth is paramount. 
Vega is part of my every day regime. With the help of Vega products, I can finally fuel myself properly for the demands of my sport.  It has always been a challenge to find healthy choices while on the road, or to get the right food at the right time. Everything is coming together as I prepare for the peak of my career at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver. I am enjoying the journey, and am looking forward to that moment in the gate at the Games.
