High Fives Athlete Andrew Kurka completed his goal of quality over quantity this season and couldn’t be more stoked about it! He is currently standing as the highest ranking US Mono Ski Athlete for Downhill and SuperG. He managed a bronze medal at World Championships and finished off the season at US Nationals at Loon Mtm, New Hampshire with a Gold Medal in Slalom and GS. This makes Kurka the GS National Champion!

After getting in touch with Kurka after a great season, here is what he had to say about the future, “I have personally decided to try out to be a duel sport athlete and will be competing in the worlds longest toughest HandCycle race this summer. The Sadlers Challenge in Alaska with Challenge Alaska. I am really looking forward to another great season and feel like I am improving everyday!”
