BIO
Kaila Kuhn, originally from Boyne City, Michigan, is an accomplished aerial skier. Prior to joining the Stifel U.S. Ski Team, she was a part of the Park City Ski & Snowboard Elite Aerial Development Program. Kaila transitioned from competitive gymnastics at 12 years old to aerials when she was invited to a recruitment camp. Throughout her career, she has achieved some remarkable accolades, including a perfect score in a NorAm competition and podium finishes in World Cup events, all leading to her involvement in the 2022 Olympics. Kaila started skiing at the young age of 18 months, and she competed in her first World Championships at just 15 years old.
Throughout the 2024-25 season, Kuhn transitioned from competing doubles to triples, a feat that not many women achieve, and this push paid off. She left the 2025 World Championships as a two-time gold medalist in aerials and the aerials team event, becoming the first aerials athlete to ever win two gold medals at a single World Championships.
