Kristi Leskinen (born February 10, 1981 in Uniontown, Pennsylvania) is an American freestyle skier. She appeared on the cover of Powder magazine's Photo Annual in 2004. [1] She grew up in Uniontown, PA, near Seven Springs Mountain Resort and Hidden Valley ski resorts. [2] She was ranked #90 on the FHM 100 Sexiest Women of 2005.[1] At Winter X Games IX, Leskinen won a bronze medal in the Women's Superpipe.[2] Kristi was the first woman ever to pull a rodeo 720—two rotations, head pointed to the earth. [3] She had a choice to become a pro wakeboarder but she decided to become professional at freestyle skiing. She began to receive sponsors for skiing and instantly knew that skiing was what she wanted to do. Leskinen is a devout fan of the ABC soap opera General Hospital. [4]
