Olya Smeshlivaya is a nice bit of crumpet. This pint-sized Russian was born in the Ukraine but moved to Moscow when she was five. She calls Novo-Peredelkino her home mountain but frequents the Breck park at least once a winter and Mt Hood for summertime shredding. She follows the TTR circuit, loves her family, friends and is starting to turn plenty of heads when she gets on that plank of hers. This chick is Russian into the spotlight! Ha.
