Sanne Mona

Sanne Mona is a Swedish freerider who survived a life-threatening avalanche in April 2017, an experience that led her to confront deep-seated fears and trauma associated with the sport. Living in Engelberg, Switzerland, she initially pursued skiing for fun but later became a professional competitor in the Freeride World Tour. After the avalanche incident, Mona struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder, which affected her love for skiing, but through therapy, she rediscovered her passion and now advocates for open discussions about avalanche safety and mental health in the freeride community.
