Born in Jackson, Wyoming, Johnson grew up in nearby Victor, Idaho, and made her World Cup debut in December 2015. In her first World Cup season in 2017, she finished eighteenth in the downhill standings. At the World Cup finals in March at Aspen, Johnson crashed in the downhill and suffered a tibial plateau fracture to her left leg.[4][5] Johnson quickly recovered from this injury and in the 2018 World Cup season she finished 11th in the World Cup downhill standings and competed in the Olympics, finishing 7th in the downhill and 14th in the Super G.

While training in Chile in September 2018, Johnson partially tore her right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and missed the 2019 season.[6][7] She returned to the World Cup circuit in January 2020 with a 25th in the downhill at Altenmarkt and consecutive top tens at Bansko.

gollark: `function(x, y, z) return x + y + z end` is loooong.
gollark: The borrow checker not being able to handle different elements of a vector as being separate thingies, for example; a flaw.
gollark: How is *that* bad?
gollark: I told you.
gollark: The clunky syntax for functions?
