BIO
Jay has been on skis since he was two, trying to keep up with his older brother, Tyler, on family ski trips to Copper Mountain, Colorado. For years, Jay watched Tyler learn to ski park and eventually, Tyler convinced (brotherly peer pressured) Jay to join him in the park. A highlight in Jay's career has been his NorAm overall victory, securing a personal World Cup spot. Jay then earned two World Cup podiums that season, resulting in third overall in the 2023-24 season. His favorite part of skiing is honing in his style, and keeping his skiing true to himself.
Outside of skiing, Jay enjoys mountain biking, going on fly fishing trips with his family, and hanging out with his guinea pigs: Milo, Grimm, and Toad. His favorite book he has read recently is Hell Followed with Us. When his ski career ends, Jay hopes to become an animal trainer (dream job would be working with dolphins) and have his own well-trained Mudi.
