6 Squaw Valley skiers nominated to the US SKI TEAM Today!

Powder-maniac Bryce Bennet was one of them. I’ve been skiing around with Bryce the past couple seasons at Squaw.  He’s been featured in many of our Unofficial videos as well as most all of the Truancy Productions Videos.  The kid is a ripping freeskier, he hucks that crap out of everything at Squaw, skis like a dangerous wild-man, and does a little ski racing on the side.

It turns out, he does a lot of ski racing and freeskiing may be a bit more “on the side.” Bryce just got named to the US SKI TEAM Development Team.  Un-F#$king-Real! I’m blown away.  The level of skiing at Squaw has always been grotesquely high, but this takes it to yet another level.

CONGRATS BRYCE!

We’re all super stoked for you and proud of you.  Kick some ass this summer and next season.

Another perennial Squaw freeskier was named to the US SKI TEAM’s B-Team. That is none other than Travis Ganong.

“Travis is mind-blowing freeskier that has done a few things at Squaw that literally no one else has done.”

The guy is sick and has been pushing his racing career hard that past few years with the US Ski Team.  Travis is also one of the Unofficial Blasters and has been sending us some high quality content as of late.

Nick Daniels & Keith Moffat were named to the US SKI TEAM’s C-Team today. I don’t know these gentlemen yet, but I hope to soon.  They are clearly amazing athletes to be where they are and I love that Keith is from Berkeley!   Go Bears!

The other 2 Squaw Valley skiers named to the US SKI TEAM are the big dogs:  Julia Mancuso & Marco Sullivan who are badasses and have had some serious success on the team including some nicely colored metals in the Winter Olympics.

CONGRATS to all our Squaw Valley US SKI TEAM athletes.  We’re honored to ski with you guys and gals and love how you represent us on the gnarliest courses all over the world.
