2024/2025 Katie Hensien Ski Racing Sponsorship

Katie Hensien was an original Keely’s Camper in 2011. Katie started her first World Cup, Killington in 2017 at the age of 16, won her first NCAA D1 Race and her first NorAm Race, and she earned a Silver Medal at the 2019 World Junior Alpine Championships in Val Di Fassa, Switzerland. Katie also competed in the 2022 Olympic games. In addition to being a member of the U.S. Ski Team, Katie earned her degree in applied computer science with a minor in innovation and entrepreneurship at the University of Denver, where she was also a member of the DU Ski Team. Most recently, Katie won the second run and  skied into 4th overall in the first women’s world cup race of the season in Soelden, AUT- we can’t wait to watch her continue to rip this season!

The Katie Hensien Sponsorship will be awarded to one female ski racer, between the ages of 10-14 years old, who is motivated to become one of the best ski racers in the world. This sponsorship is focused on supporting an athlete who loves the outdoors and is actively involved in all aspects of her sport (training, fitness, and taking care of her equipment). We are looking for someone who works hard both on and off the hill, balances being a student and an athlete, prioritizes managing her time, and is proactive in communicating with her teachers and coaches.
