==Early life==
Leskinen was born in 1981 and grew up in Uniontown, Pennsylvania near Seven Springs Mountain Resort and Hidden Valley Ski Resort.〔http://www.lat34.com/girl_on_kristi_leskinen_2〕 She seemed to master every sport she came in contact with. For example, she learned to pole vault two weeks before Regional’s her senior year of high school and she ended up setting a school record while qualifying for the State Championships. In addition, she was the Western Pennsylvania breaststroke champion.
Leskinen’s favorite sports growing up were skiing and wakeboarding. She won the first mogul contest she entered and she was being groomed to compete in the Olympics as a teenager. Moguls did not offer the freedom she craved, so she switched to wakeboarding. She took second in the US Wakeboard Nationals and fourth at the World Championship. In 2000, while attending the US Open, she spotted some pros having a practice session on a rail. It was the freedom she always looked for in skiing. She realized that freeskiing is more challenging than wakeboarding so she chose a career on the snow.〔
