Caite Zeliff was born and raised in North Conway, NH a small ski town nestled in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Surrounded by a community that eats, sleeps, and breathes ski culture it was just a matter of time before she discovered her love for skiing. Caite found her way into a local race program which fed her competitive nature as well as satisfied a love for speed and pushing boundaries. Caite raced at FIS and Nor Am levels, skiing internationally with the US Ski Team for a year before securing her spot on the University of New Hampshire Ski Team. She skied Division 1 at UNH before realizing she was craving something more than slapping plastic and studying business.
Caite’s sense of adventure and curiosity about bigger mountains inspired her move west. It wasn’t long before Caite fell in love with the freedom and creative expression that freeskiing allowed. She competed on the Freeride World Qualifying circuit before finding her stride as a Big Mountain Skier. Caite’s breakthrough moment took place during the legendary King and Queen of Corbets competition where she took the title of Queen of Corbets back to back in 2018 and 2019. This title brought attention to Caite’s hard charging race style mixed with big air and surfy flow.
Constantly learning through experience and study, she has evolved her style of skiing numerous times throughout her career. She now lives in Alaska and is on a path to master the art of spine skiing.
