Her Indigenous name is Gwannawa, it means black swan.
As she glides effortlessly over the snow, it seems fitting.
Making her more impressive is the fact that 16-year-old Wurunderjeri teen Mikayla George hadn't even seen snow until last year, and it wasn't quite what she was expecting.
"I was expecting the big fluffy snow like you see in the movies but no I got to Buller and I reached for the ground and hurt my fingers, it was like ice."
"I was expecting the big fluffy snow like you see in the movies."
Her first lesson in what's been a steep learning curve on her road to becoming Australia's first Indigenous Winter Olympian, in one of the Games most dangerous events - aerial skiing.
A sport she'd never heard of a year ago.
"I had to look it up otherwise I'd have no idea what I was coming in to, it was crazy. I looked up the world cup and it was amazing."
In 2015, Mikayla has been a competitive gymnast but was forced to retire after injuring her back in competition.
It was then she came to the attention of recruiters for the Victorian Institute of Sport's aerial skiing development program.
Olympic Winter Institute CEO Geoff Lipshut said Mikayala didn't find the sport, the sport found her.

"Aerial skiing is our most successful winter discipline in Australian history, we've won five Olympic medals, two gold, one silver, two bronze and all of them were by ex-gymnasts," he said.

Lipshut is pioneering a world first talent transfer program that recruits young acrobatic athletes to aerial skiing.
"It's much easier teaching a talented gymnast how to ski rather than a person who can ski how to be a talented acrobat."
Mikayla now a second year student amongst a group of talented gymnasts hoping to add to the Australian winter Olympic medal tally.
But the dangerous nature of the sport means to progress towards jumping from the ramps is slow.
Aerial Skiing Program Manager Chloe Merry said it's important to ensure athletes are adept on the snow before moving to the jumps, testing the patience of talented athletes like Mikayla.
"If you asked her she'd do it this afternoon, she's totally ready for anything we ever ask her if anything we have to bring her back a little bit," she said.
"It's not just setting their bodies up but setting their minds up to be successful."
Trying to keep Mikayla's feet on the ground for now.
Her development plan has her on track for the 2022 Winter Olympics and maybe a World Cup before that.
Mikayla's skill and determination making her a role model amongst other Indigenous athletes and also amongst her peers.
"Me being the role model for other younger kids that makes me so happy, and that I'm pushing them somewhere," she said.
As she pioneers a new road for Indigenous athletes, she said it's not a path she's walking alone.
Mikayla is an ambassador for Australian Indigenous Alpine Sport Foundation, and receives support from a number of organisations for equipment and training programs.
"You'll never understand how strong the community support is. I don't know half the people who fund for me. There is so much more support, more than you can imagine," she said.
Sharing her journey with all of Indigenous Australia.
