Aspen's Feinberg makes jump to national team, jumps in on chase for Olympic spot

Photo by Austin Colbert/The Aspen Times When Tristan Feinberg made his first World Cup final this past winter at Buttermilk Ski Area, he finally had the proof he’d been chasing that showed he belonged. The Roaring Fork Valley has a long, and very present, history of producing elite halfpipe skiers, and Aspen’s Feinberg has added his name to a list that already includes the likes of Alex Ferreira and Cassidy Jarrell. “I just wanted to show Aspen who I was,” Feinberg said. “It was very validating for me. I’m not going to say I grew up in the shadow of Cassidy and Alex. They all deserve to be in the place that they are. It’s very special to me that I can perform in a field of people that I’ve been watching since I was 8 years old on TV.”

Team Summit's Walker Robinson dominates Rocky Mountain region skicross circuit

Photo from Team Summit Team Summit skicross up-and-comer Walker Robinson made an undefeated statement this season on the Rocky Mountain circuit. The 14-year-old won each competition he entered, earning him a national championship in a year when the annual USA Snowboard and Freeski Association didn’t host an event in response to COVID-19. His winning streak culminated with a skicross victory last weekend at Copper Mountain Resort while racing against some of the nation’s best competitors his age from the Rocky Mountain region, Maine and California. “Walker is a competitor who wants to win,” Team Summit skicross head coach Leah Emaus said. “He gets in the gate, and he definitely is thinking, ‘How do I win this race? What do I have to do? What is my start going to be? How am I going to take the first turn?’”

(Tamara Susa/Aspen Snowmass) Fresh snowfall overnight made for a sticky superpipe in the morning, but it wasn’t enough to slow down Basalt’s Hanna Faulhaber in her world championship debut on Wednesday at Buttermilk Ski Area. The 16-year-old was fifth in the women’s halfpipe skiing qualifier and will compete for the world title in Friday’s final. “I feel amazing. It was pretty slow in the beginning, but that last run was super fast and I got to ski how I like to ski, going big. So it really felt good,” Faulhaber said. “It’s so nice to be able to compete at home, just sleeping in my own bed, being around all the people I love, having my family be able to be out here.”
