Shannon Bahrke
Shannon started skiing when she was three years old and grew up at all of the different resorts around Lake Tahoe. She made her first turns at Homewood Resort. When she knew a little bit more about what she was doing she expanded her horizons and bought a season pass at Alpine Meadows. When she graduated high school and the time finally came to make some decisions about her future she made the tough choice of moving away from home and moving to Salt Lake City. She won the United States Ski Team Selection Event in December of 1998 and earned a spot on the U.S. Freestyle Ski Team. She has 22 World Cup top-3s and she won the silver medal at the 2002 Olympics. Shannon is looking forward to next year’s Olympics.
