Instagram offers a glimpse into peoples’ lives, and Olympic athletes are no exception. British ski cross racer Pamela Thorburn leads an interesting life both on and off the course.

Thorburn started skiing at the age of 3 and skied 10 years on the British Alpine Ski Team. She raced the World Cup Alpine Tour during the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 seasons before switching to ski cross in 2012.
The British ski cross champion is now making a final push to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
