Martina Peterlini, born in Trento on 24 October 1997 and living in Rovereto, has always had a deep connection with the snow and the world of alpine skiing. As fate would have it, she was born during the very first snowfall of the season, as if to set the course of her life from the very beginning. At the age of three, she put on skis for the first time, immediately discovering a passion that was destined to become her profession. Having grown up in a family of ski instructors — her grandfather, father and uncle — Martina has, from a very young age, absorbed the values of the mountains, discipline and sacrifice. For her, the snow is not just a sporting environment, but a true home: the cold, the wind on her face and the mountains represent the place where she truly feels like herself. As a child, she spent her Sundays on skis following her father, trying to imitate his every move and constantly perfecting her technique, never settling for less. Right from the junior ranks, she demonstrated a determined, competitive and resilient character. She has always viewed every race as a personal challenge, tackling it with passion, ambition and a great spirit of sacrifice.
