Emma Lonsdale (born 24 April 1984) is a freestyle skier who competes in the halfpipe. Her Olympics debut was at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, competing for Team GB.
Emma Lonsdale was born on 24 April 1984 in Langcliffe, Settle, North Yorkshire, England.[2] Lonsdale began skiing at the age of 2, and soon became amongst the members of the Kendal Snowsports club.[2] Her secondary school was Settle High School.[3] She (in addition to the majority of the GB skiing team) learned how to ski on Snowflex, which has led to the team being called the "fridge kids".[4][5]
