If you answered mostly A…
You’re Snowboarder Barbie! You love spending time on the mountain with friends and in the terrain park catching big air. You also have no problem riding solo as long as the conditions are good and you have your playlist ready. Après can be hit or miss but when you are along for the ride you go big and never want the party to end!
If you answered mostly B…
You’re Winter Sports Skier Barbie! Always down for a day on the mountain, you’re out there doing your thing and usually have a cute fit while you’re at it. Mellow terrain is your fave and you’re in touch with classic skiing culture. You usually save the double blacks for your friends, but you have been known to ski outside your comfort zone, maybe after a spiked cocoa or two at lunch.
If you answered mostly C…
You’re an Olympian Barbie, like Kelly Sildaru! When you’re on the mountain you’re down to have fun but are also there to get your reps in and work on your form. Whether it’s spending the day on the superpipe or in the trees, you like to be on the chair bright and early and are a serious skier committed to the sport through and through. That doesn’t mean you can’t have a good time and when the lifts stop running for the day you love getting in an après champagne toast before heading back home.
If you answered mostly D…
You’re 1991 Ski Fun Barbie! The fashions and attitude of the early ‘90s have not escaped you but that doesn’t mean you’re out of touch. You love a good old-fashioned apres party, making friends on the mountain and sharing the sport with other people who are also crazy about it. You’re not there to get the most laps in, you’re there making sure you and everyone around you have the best time.
