3 fun facts to learn about me:
1- Her last name, “DeMonte” is Italian and means “On the mountain” – fitting!
2- Anna has an instagram dedicated to pizza on mountain peaks. Follow it @pizzaonpeaks!
3- Goals for upcoming year: FKT attempt of The Grand Teton Picnic and summit/ski of Denali
Favourite race: The Wasatch Ultimate Ridge Linkup (WURL) and the Grand Teton Picnic are two
objectives that stand out to me. Both are extreme tests of an athlete’s endurance and mental
stamina!
Favourite SCOTT product: SCOTT Superguide 95 skis and SCOTT Supertrac RC 2 shoes. I live and
breathe in each of these products in winter/spring and summer/fall.
