Her parents, Cody Burns, 29, and Andrea Peterson, 34, insist their daughter is destined to take off. Cody, a ski patrol night supervisor, says: “Aurora has been skiing since she was in the womb as Andrea was still keen to ski throughout her pregnancy, and we were showing her ski films as soon as she arrived.
