TJ is an old scholar catching back up. He received his award back in 2013 to pursue his passion for skiing. He is still shredding it, here’s what he had to say.

“I stopped competing back in 2014, but have not stopped skiing! I also picked up snowmobiling and now I do not even ride at ski resorts anymore and I ski 100% backcountry either skinning or sledding (I can’t handle the chaos at resorts anymore these days) I graduated from the University of Wyoming in May of ’18 and now work from home doing contract work for a land and title services broker and getting out in the mountains as much as possible.”
