Veronica Kelly
Hometown: Lanesborough, MA
Current Residence: Salt Lake City, UT
Age: 19
Veronica Kelly is our wild card rider. This up-an-comer moved out from Lanesborough, Massachusetts this last August to strut her stuff at infamous Park City Mountain Resort and attend classes at the University of Utah as a business major. She began skiing at her family's resort Brodie Mountain in Massachusetts at the age of two but didn't enter the competitive world of freeskiing till the 05-06 season when she received 3rd in the Jeep Terrain Series. During the 06- 07 season Veronica received 1st in the USASA grassroots competition which sent her to Windells and pushed her into competing at the Mount Snow Open where she received 4th and Queens Cup Open where she received 1st place overall in rails with a 270 blindside switch up on the up-down box and a blindside switch up on the down rail during the 07-08 season. Until this season Veronica perfected her moves at Jiminy Peak, MA and Mount Snow, VT. Looking up to her now good friend and fellow Modan member Ashley Battersby to improve her style. With the help of Molly and Dania, Veronica is looking to use this year to improve her jump skills. She shreds Park City almost every day trying new tricks with hopes to improve her rail style and ability, maybe even catch a chair with some cute boys. Veronica is 5 ft 1 and a ball of fire, known by her friends as Vern, V-ron, or Eastcoastbiddi. When I asked Veronica what some of her other hobbies were she casually and very seriously stated that they included, kicking it, public transportation, wizard staffing, fine pottery, stunner shades, getting hyphy and cracking jokes. Veronica is always high spirited and outgoing always listening to Lil Wayne and having a good time. She is currently filming with good friends and fellow east coasters, Rockthrill, as well as Evan Heath keep an eye out for their edits on Newschoolers and Vern's debut.
