Anna Demonte
Anna grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she developed a passion for swimming. The sport's precision, physical demands, and competitive nature led her to collegiate swimming and competing in the 2012 and 2016 US Olympic Swimming trials.
After a spinal injury in 2017 ended her newly formed competitive cycling career, she moved to Utah in 2020 to heal from the injury and rediscover her love for movement– only now in the mountains.
Since 2020, Anna has rapidly progressed in mountain sports, embracing the detail and physicality she loved in swimming. Winter backcountry ski challenges and summer technical ridges captivate her. She's particularly inspired by objectives combining skiing, climbing, and mountaineering, aiming to blend speed with technical skills in her career.
In addition to her athletic pursuits, Anna is an EMT and lead guide for Embark Outdoors, a non-profit empowering refugee young women through outdoor education and sports like climbing, hiking, swimming, and camping.
