BIO
Justin Bigatel grew up and learned to ski in Pennsylvania before moving to Park City, Utah when he was in the fifth grade. His top three athletic accomplishments are being named to the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team, grabbing first at FIS Waterville Valley GS, being U16 giant slalom national champ, and ending up first place in the 2019 Pokal Loka giant slalom. In the 2022-23 season Bigatel showcased his skiing chops across all disciplines, he secured a top-10 result at the Copper Mountain NorAm and later got his best NorAm result with a seventh place in the Camp Fortune NorAm slalom.
When he's not skiing, he loves to mountain bike, drive/offroad, camp, fish, game, watch sports and random YouTube videos, and surf (waves and wake).
