Sydney Clark, Norwood It would be my life dream to win gold in the Freestyle Skiing event. I’m not the best by a long shot, but I was on UVM’s Freestyle Ski Team in college, and it is the most fun and incredible sport. I look up to so many freestyle athletes, what they do seems almost impossible, especially having broken my ribs trying to do a fraction of what they can do with ease. Regardless, I can’t wait to go out skiing this year! I’m lucky to enjoy multiple Olympic sports, I’m a skier, mountain biker, sailor, and equestrian. I’ve never been to the Olympics but have been lucky enough to learn how to sail from my cousin Amanda Clark who is a two-time (Beijing and London), and use to go to clinics with three-time Olympic equestrian Michael Page. I love too many Olympians to count, but I’m really hoping Eileen Gu makes the Olympic Freeski team this year!

Jesse Vose, Meriden I have always dreamed of winning an Olympic medal in Mogul Skiing, as it is a sport I competed in when I was younger. Many years ago after college, I competed in mogul skiing while I lived and worked in Killington, Vermont. It was a great pleasure to frequently ski and train with quite a few World Cup and Olympic athletes. I have a passion for any type of alpine skiing, and particularly love skiing in powder, trees, and moguls. My favorite recently has been skiing deep powder in the backcountry of British Columbia, Canada.
