7 Things You Didn't Know About Aj Hurt

  • 1. AJ is establishing herself as quite the multi-event skier, having scored points in four disciplines so far in 2020-21 (parallel, slalom, giant slalom, and downhill).
  • 2. AJ has been a skier her whole life. At only age four, she entered the Squaw Valley Ski Team and fell in love with the sport. "I liked the adrenaline rush of going fast, no other sport gave that rush. I loved free skiing and just spending time outdoors on the mountains."

  • 7. When AJ is not skiing, you can find her hanging out at the beach!
