Swiss freeride skier born October 9, 1995, from the Verbier region. Competed on the Freeride World Tour for seven years and won the overall championship in 2021, before stepping back from the competitive circuit to pursue skiing on her own terms.

Gerritzen spent 7 years on the Freeride World Tour and won the overall championship in 2021, becoming one of Switzerland's most recognized freeride skiers. At what looked like the peak of her career, she stepped back from the competitive system to search for a deeper relationship with skiing beyond it -- a journey documented in Faction Skis' portrait film 'Unfiltered' (2025) and Alicia Cenci's earlier documentary 'Fragments Choisis.' 'Tandem' (2025, also directed by Cenci, supported by Arc'teryx/Peak Performance/Verbier) profiles her close friendship with fellow Swiss freerider Maude Besse -- the two have been friends and fellow competitors since Besse's rookie 2019 FWT season, when Gerritzen ran to celebrate Besse's runner-up finish in Japan. A Faction Skis athlete, she rides her own signature model, the Mana 3 EG.

Sponsors: Faction Skis (own signature ski model, the Mana 3 EG).
