PARK CITY, Utah (Jan. 4) - Tim Warner (Waterford,
MI), who won all four
moguls and dual moguls events, heads a group of
six skiers added to the
U.S. Freestyle Ski Team following selection
events. All will compete in
January World Cups at Deer Valley, Utah, and
Sunday River, Maine, the
Ski Team announced Thursday.
The athletes - three men and three women - were
named based on
pre-Christmas selection events at Utah's Snowbird
resort, according to
Head Coach Jeff Wintersteen.
The new Ski Team members: Men - Jeret Parker (19;
Boise, ID - aerials),
Travis Ramos (21; South Lake Tahoe, CA - moguls)

well as both duals
events, is new to the Ski Team, along with Parker
and Lindsey. Ramos,
Hord and Robertson were on previous U.S. teams and
regained a spot with
their skiing.
The freestyle World Cup schedule resumes Jan. 6-7

venue. The North American swing concludes Jan.
