Personal Life
Mancuso was born in Reno, Nevada, and grew up in the Lake Tahoe area as the middle of three sisters, between older sister April and younger sister Sara. Her father, Ciro Mancuso, was arrested and convicted of running a $140 million marijuana smuggling operation when Julia was five years old. Her parents divorced in 1992, and her mother said that Julia "took everything out on the slopes." After his release from prison, Julia and her father became close. Mancuso's sentence was greatly reduced because of his cooperation with the government in cases against other alleged organization members and Mancuso's lawyer Patrick Hallinan. As a result of his assistance to the government, Mancuso was allowed to keep $5 million in proceeds from his trafficking business.
She graduated from The Winter Sports School in Park City, Utah, in 2000 and resides in Olympic Valley, California.
Her boyfriend is Aksel Lund Svindal, a champion alpine ski racer from Norway.
