Amelia Volk
I was raised in a big skiing family in Oregon with my dad being head of ski patrol so most every day of the winter was spent on snow from the time i was 16 months old. I picked up racing when i was 4 years old and fell in love with it and eventually went to gould academy to ski for them in Maine, my senior year of high school i relocated to Bozeman where I raced for the local team at Bridger for a couple years. Taking a break from ski racing over the last year made me miss it even more and i decided i wanted to give back to the community and ended up deciding to coach for jackson!
