I started racing then got into freestyle skiing. I did comps throughout Co. I was totally obsessed with skiing until I started a family. I basically stopped skiing until Juliet was old enough to start. We skied Sipapu for several years. Had fun at Solomon Extremes and a few other back country comps. Then I did a slopestyle comp and was hooked. I had never done slope before this comp. I have done many slopestyle comps. Now I just enjoy every aspect of free skiing especially the park.
Originally from Santa Fe, NM Avi grew up competitively skiing racing in the Southwest.
He attended Bates College, ME where raced on the division 3 team and earned a degree in Philosophy.
