Two-time Olympian Torin Koos is the son of former U.S. biathlon skier and began skiing early while growing up in Washington state. Racing was a natural progression while he skied and ran cross-country, plus track and field for the University of Utah.

A 2006 Olympian Burke fulfilled his life-long dream by making the USA’s Olympic Biathlon team while winning the Pursuit format and placing second in two other competitions at the TD Banknorth Festival at Fort Kent.

North Carolina is not known for producing many Nordic-sport athletes and Bailey only spent a few years of childhood there before his family moved to Old Forge, NY. It was in this rural upstate New York town where he first put on a pair of skis.

Growing up in Lake Placid, NY Johnson started skiing early and developed a passion for competitive alpine skiing. During high school she was encouraged to give Nordic skiing a try and was inspired her to spend her senior year at the National Sports Academy (Lake Placid) in Torsby, Sweden doing biathlon and going to school.

Goldsack first started skiing at six years old when he was encouraged by his first coach and Grade 5 school teacher, Bob Vanderwater, to join the Jackrabbit Ski League.
