Julia Mancuso

Marker's newest athlete grew up skiing and racing in California with her sisters April and Sara. Jules, as her friends call her, made her World Cup debut at age 15 and scored her first points soon thereafter. Since then, she's become one of the most decorated US women skiers of all time: She won the Gold Medal in Giant Slalom at the 2006 Torino Olympics and followed that by winning 2 Silver Medals in Downhill and Combined at the 2010 Games in Vancouver. Julia also has 3 World Championship medals to her credit. She's a well-rounded skier who likes to compete outside the gates, too. In early 2010 she finished third in the Freeride World Tour event in Verbier. She spends the off-season in an unlikely place for a skier - Hawaii. Jules lives on Maui and spends much of her free time surfing and stand-up paddling.
