Lars Chickering-Ayers
Lars grew up skiing Vermont’s legendary Mad River Glen. Always the first to the hill and the last off, Lars developed strong technical skills while chasing around local ski patrol turned pro Dylan Crossman. Upon graduating from high school, Lars moved west and began exploring and adapting his style to big mountain skiing. Freeride competitions followed shortly thereafter where Lars’ presence was immediately noticed as one of the premier skiers on the circuit. Lars was second overall in 2010 Subaru Freeskiing World Tour. Along with Ryan, Lars, Dylan Crossman and Chuck Mumford founded the Green Mountain Freeride Team which was designed to unite and inspire this skiing community. Whether skiing steep Alaskan spines, Wasatch powder or Mad River Glen’s notoriously cold single chair, Vermont skiers share a unique bond that stems from the essence of skiing: freeriding. Along with Lars’ younger brother Silas, Ryan and Lars would travel around to various comps and live in a van they named “The General.”
