ANDREW SHORTS
Skier and Skater
A Jackson Hole native, Andrew was born and raised with a love for big mountain skiing. Filming and competing propelled Andrew into the semi professional circuit during high school. During the summer seasons between busy winters, he was feeding his love for skateboarding. Taking podium in skateboarding regional competitions, and placing top ten in the Junior Freeride World Tour Championships, solidified Andrew’s love for competitive skiing and skateboarding. After taking a few years off, he has returned to the competitive aspects of these sports with more energy than ever. Today, his identity carries a story of recovery from addiction, which he has used to his benefit in the world of skiing and skating. He is becoming recognized as the athlete who’s love for the sport is strengthened by his multiple years of sobriety.
Now competing in the Free Ride World qualifiers, Andrew is making a transition to Salt Lake City, Utah where he intends to compete and film more than last year, and have more fun than ever.
