Growing up, falling in love with skiing and a significant turning point

Lindsey Jacobellis was born August 19, 1985, in Danbury, Connecticut, U.S., to Ben and Anita Jacobellis. She has one older brother named Ben, who is a professional snowboarder like her.^[3]

When Lindsey was a child, she played multiple sports independently and with her family. During summer, she and Ben would practice different physical activities, and Lindsey would go skiing with her mom, dad, and brother during winter.

Her father was a huge fan of skiing, so he taught Lindsey how to maintain balance and ski properly when she was very young.

However, one particular winter, during their snowy festivities, her brother decided to rent a snowboard. Seeing how much fun he had with it motivated Lindsey to try it herself.

Winter sports being a family thing, Lindsey's father jumped on the snowboard as well and, together with Lindsey, enrolled in snowboarding lessons. She was only eleven years old when she switched from skiing to snowboarding. Later, her mom joined the party and started snowboarding with the rest of the family.^[4]

Lindsey enjoyed skiing and snowboarding until a tragedy struck her home. Her family house burnt, and all sports equipment was gone. Her parents couldn’t afford both skis and a snowboard, so she had to choose between the two, and Lindsey chose the snowboard.

This decision was a life-defining moment for her.
