About Caitlin Ciccone

Title: Ski Cross Racer

I have been skiing since the age of two and ever since I put my first pair of skis, even if I didn't know it at the time, I fell in love with the sport of skiing!  Thanks to my parents, who may not be avid skiers themselves, I was given the opportunity to follow my dreams.  I have an older brother and I believe I owe my success thus far in the sport to him.  If he wasn't there to chase down when I was younger, I wouldn't have developed that fire. Skiing has also given me the opportunity to travel the world and be exposed to so many different cultures and environments, maturing me faster than I ever thought possible. I grew up doing so many sports but skiing just sort of took priority in my life and now it is my lifestyle.  A crazy traveling lifestyle that so many people could never imagine, but I live it! I just want to thank everyone who has helped me in my life and words cannot express how thankful I am. Skiing is now my way of life....

In the last year, I decided to stop skiing downhill and switched over to Ski Cross.  They send four racers down an alpine course with jumps, banked turns and big woopdies! It’s quite the adrenaline rush and even more exciting to watch.  It takes a lot of focus to get you down the course and avoid others while including obstacles and gates.  It takes a lot of training in the summer months to be strong and agile on your feet.  I am always thinking about good things to put into my body and when I found Vega, it had everything.  It is an awesome way to recover from work outs and get energized for the next! I can't wait to see what happens in this new Olympic year and I’m excited to have Vega along with me! Thanks and drink up!
