Collinson is a two-time Freeskiing World Tour overall champion (won as a rookie in 2010, then again in 2011), the first woman to appear in a Teton Gravity Research finale segment (Paradise Waits, 2015), the first woman to win the Powder Magazine 'Best Line' award (2015/16), and was named to ESPN's Top 50 Females in Action Sports (2014). A career-long member of the 'MDV family' (Marker/Völkl/Dalbello, all under common ownership), she was also sponsored by The North Face, Red Bull, Smith Optics, Black Diamond, and Smartwool -- no specific signature ski model could be confirmed after searching. She co-starred alongside Michelle Parker and Elyse Saugstad in Matchstick Productions' 'All In' (2018), shot largely in Alaska. Retired from professional skiing in 2021 to sail across the Atlantic on a 40-foot steel monohull and now focuses on mental health advocacy and lifestyle branding; her brother John Collinson is also a professional skier.
