D E V I N L O G A NDevin’s matching gaiterand mittens have ahip, casual look thatperfectly complementsher style.

Little sibs get off to a fast start.Just ask Vermonter Devin Logan,who used to follow her olderbrothers to their competitionsevery winter weekend. When shewas six, her mom told her thatshe might as well competeherself. She wanted to be analpine racer, but her brothers—pro skiers Sean and Chris—wouldn’t allow it. Taking theiradvice turned out okay: at fifteenshe was on the podium at theU.S. Championships, finishingsecond in halfpipe. Two yearslater, in her first full season, shemade her X Games debut andwon a halfpipe bronze. Shefinished the season with the U.S.halfpipe skiing title and the overallAFP crown. One of few womento excel at both superpipe andslopestyle, she was named to theinaugural U.S. Freeskiing Teamfor both. When not skiing, Devinstays active with soccer, outdooradventures, logging hours on thetrampoline… and showing herbrothers a thing or two.
