Rising Stars: Kirsty Muir


29 01 2026

20 year old Kirsty Muir is fast cementing her spot as one of Britain's leading young freestyle skiers, following a string of successful runs at international competitions.

The Aberdeen native first appeared on the world stage at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics, claiming a spot on the big air podium at just 15 years old, before competing at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics as Team GB's youngest athlete. Despite missing out on the 2023/2024 season due to a knee injury, Muir continues to build momentum ahead of the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics, having won gold in the freeski slopestyle and silver in the big air event at the X Games in January, where she made history as the first ever Scottish skier to compete.
