In case you don’t know much about women’s big mountain skiing, I’ll let you in on a little secret. Rachael Burks rips! Burks is known for her all out style and crazy personality. Not afraid to huck her carcass off of really large cliffs and charge gnarly lines at high speeds Burks has become one of the leading ladies of freesking.
Knowing Burks and her zany personality we thought she’d be a perfect candidate for Fill in the Blanks Friday. While vacationing in Mexico, we caught up with miss Burks. Check out one of the most entertaining Fill in the Blank Fridays to date with big mountain shredder Rachael Burks.
