BIOGRAPHY:
Brett Denney spends most of his time training and competing and for Denney, the hard work has paid off. In just his second year with the U.S. Ski Team, Denney continued to reach new heights by tallying the highest Continental Cup points total of his career in 2011 and notching his first World Cup start. The Colorado native was a member of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club where he skied and trained until being named to the U.S. Ski Team.

BRETT SAYS:
This year I am looking forward to bringing my skiing to the next level. Last year was really my first full season of skiing almost all Continental Cups on the calendar. This year I want to move forward and be skiing at the World Cup level.

FIRST TRACKS:
Denney started on the hill as an alpine skier. However, after the influence of friends Denney decided to try ski jumping around the age of seven. Since then, Denney has not looked back and keeps nordic combined as his main focus.

OFF THE SNOW:
When I am not competing I like to be in the outdoors mostly either biking or back country skiing. After a long season of being with the team it's nice to go on some solo adventures and mix it up with as many other activities outside of skiing that I can. It helps me be fresh for the upcoming training and competition season.
