Australia's youngest Olympian since 14 year old Aileen Shaw competed in figure skating at the 1960 Squaw Valley Games, Brittney is excited to have the opportunity to experience the Games so early in her career.

Though the teenager, from Victoria's Mount Beauty, has been skiing moguls competitively since she was eight, a spot in the 2010 Australian Olympic team was, she thought, beyond her.

However stellar performances in World Cups - her first - just weeks ago earned her a ticket to the Games. Mountainwatch.com's Steve Lee caught up with her in Park City where she was training prior to heading to Vancouver to move into the Olympic Village.

She joins reigning Olympic champion Dale Begg-Smith and Ramone Cooper, who has recovered from a January knee injury with astounding speed to realised his Olympic dream, in Australia's mogul skiing team. The moguls events will take place on days two and three of the Games - 13 and 14 February.
