titles. Her first title was earned in 1973 with her winning the Women’s National Freestyle Championship at Sun Valley, Idaho. That same year she skied for Willy Bogner in the ski film “W.” In 1975, she won the overall Women’s Grand Prix freestyle title along with the aerial title.

Unfortunately, due to illness, she was sidelined halfway through the 1976 season, however still earned enough points to finish fifth overall that season. Fuller came back gingerly in 1977, only competing in three competitions, but it was enough to move her overall ranking to fourth.
In 1978 she was again on her form, winning the overall World Freestyle Championship title along with three out of five individual titles. Fuller became an innovator in pole-free ballet, touring Europe and Japan, sharing skills and knowledge with many up-coming young freestyler skiers. She performed in over 500 days of dry-land ski shows.
