Passionate and driven, that’s undoubtedly the best way to describe me, Isabelle Hanssen, born in The Netherlands. Started Freestyle Skiing in 2009, and since then, my entire existence has been forever changed. Skiing quickly became more than just a hobby—it became an all-consuming addiction. I fell in love with the playful, creative and progressive side of the sport, and later the competitive scene.Over the past decade, I've traveled the world, competing in high-level halfpipe competitions. My passion for skiing consistently drives me to exceed my own limits and strive for my full potential. However, last year, I arrived at a significant crossroads in my personal journey. After much contemplation, I made the conscious decision to step away from competitive halfpipe skiing. Rest assured, my love for skiing runs deep—profoundly coursing through every fiber of my being. This transition does not signify the end of my skiing journey, far from it! I'm just saying goodbye to the competitive side of the sport as an athlete.I am now embarking on a journey of self-discovery as both an athlete and a skier, seeking to redefine my place within the skiing industry. Naturally inclined to seek progress and innovative solutions, I am wholeheartedly exploring new avenues that align with my passion for skiing. These include delving into content creation and embracing the realms of judging and coaching through my involvement with Freeski Global.Moreover, beyond my personal pursuits, I will stay committed to promoting freestyle skiing in The Netherlands, fostering growth within the community, and rallying support for fellow skiers here.
