BIOGRAPHY:
Born in the Northwest then transplanted in Colorado, Will Gregorak cruised through the Ski and Snowboard Club Vail program before landing on the U.S. Alpine Development Team for the '09 season. He's been checking off rungs on the U.S. Ski Team ladder ever since.

2011 was no exception as Gregorak won a pair of giant slalom races in New Zealand while the Team was doing some summer training in the Southern Hemisphere. In the field were guys like Tim Jitloff and a dude named Ted Ligety, who has won three World Cup GS titles. The results prompted coaches to give Gregorak the green light to start the World Cup opener in Soelden where he proved it was a good call. The race was eventually canceled due to fog, but Gregorak received nods to start in six other World Cup races to pile in the experience. In between he bounced back to the U.S. to lock the NorAm Cup giant slalom title and secure a World Cup GS starting spot for 2012.

WILL SAYS:
It was a little tense in the couple of days leading up to Soelden, but it felt good to get that one under my belt. There really isn't a way to describe coming over the break over in Soelden and seeing that crowd. I definitely would have liked to earn a World Cup second run this season, but the experience was a huge boost. I know what it's like to compete at that level and know that I need to put in a ton of work to be competitive.

FIRST TRACKS:
Gregorak's intro to skiing was riding on his fathers back in a child carrier as a baby. He made his way from the carrier to his own pair of skis before the age of two and hasn't slowed since. A boost from Ski and Snowboard Club Vail has him as a true all-around skier, but favors tech events.

OFF THE SNOW:
A fan of U2, The Family Guy and The Life of Pi. Also a fan of the non frozen version of aqua, Gregorak is also a solid water skier and wakeboarder. Summer time is also golf time, FORE.
