For Robyn Leslie, skiing was just a hobby that started off with family outings around Europe, but little did she know that her stellar skills would eventually lead her to win major competitions.

The British national moved to Dubai with her family five years ago, but despite the vast expanse of the UAE desert, Robyn’s passion for skiing was influenced by the presence of Ski Dubai, a place that gave her ample opportunities to hone her skills.

After a successful season, Sport360 caught up with the 14-year-old to get to know more about her passion for the sport and even ask her father, Murray Leslie, about what he thinks of his daughter’s venture into professional skiing.
