LIDIJA NIKOLLAJ

As a skier, trail runner, and lover of the outdoors, Lidija is currently happy to be living in upstate New York with her siblings and niece. This winter she is busy instructing cross country skiing at Lapland Lake Nordic Center and training for her next outdoor adventure.  
Lidija has recently returned to the area after residing in Seattle for some time and living out of her car in the cascade mountains. During that period she spent much of her time training, creating art, and conquering personal goals. She has enjoyed competing in several cross country ski marathons, as well as a 50K trail running race, where she finished 11th overall.

Professionally, Lidija is PSIA certified and licensed as a cosmetologist in 3 states. She loves getting people out onto the snow and empowering them through sports. She likes to say: “The best athletes are the ones who have the most fun, and I plan on having a blast!”
