BIO

Zanden McMullen from Anchorage, Alaska, racked up career-best results weekend after weekend on the 2023-24 World Cup circuit. At the culmination of the season, Zanden was ranked third in the World for men under the age of 23 (U23 category). This season, he's looking to continue that trend. 

Throughout his career, Zanden has landed on the U.S. National Championship podium four times and represented the USA at the 2023 U23 World Ski Championships, placing in the top 20 in the 20k classic and 10k skate. 

An athlete on the Alaska Pacific University (APU) team, Zanden is a skier to watch as we look at the future of the Stifel U.S. Cross Country Ski Team, along a strong class of men. Aside from skiing, Zanden says he is "a cat person first and foremost (but loves all animals)." He claims to have a serious sweet tooth with a true chocolate addiction. He never takes himself too seriously and loves a good laugh.

"It’s a good life"
