Travis Ganong

Skier

I was born and raised in Alpine Meadows, Calif., with ski touring right out my backdoor and the playground of Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows as my training grounds. Skiing is my ultimate passion, and that passion has led me to win world cups, win the silver medal at the world championships and be able to represent our country at the Olympics. I ski race downhill and super-G and have been on the U.S. Ski Team for 15 years, which is the most challenging and rewarding medium of skiing. But growing up in Lake Tahoe, I also love freeskiing and ski touring. I am so fortunate that my dream job came true and that I can travel the world as a professional skier.
