Trey Jones first crossed our path on a trip to Vermont to coach at a GMVS Summer Camp. Trey was a U16 at the time and was really hitting his stride as a young athlete. Over the next few seasons we got to know Trey & his family more. As he continued he partnered with Madshus and we worked with him on skis and other aspects of the sport. From there we worked with Trey as he moved from VT to CO to the Steamboat Winter Sports Academy. Trey now is at CU racing NCAA and representing team USA at World Juniors in 2024. We are excited to see what’s NEXT!
