Young Alex Tuttle has had quite a ride through the World Cup circuit with 19 World Cup starts since his 2009 debut. His non-stop work ethic has paid off with two X Games invites and a steady rise to the top of the rankings. After his first career World Cup podium at Valmalenco, Italy, Tuttle proved he’s going nowhere but up.

In 2013 Tuttle made nearly every final of the six World Cup’s in which he competed, including the FIS World Cup at the Olympic venue in Sochi, Russia and the final World Cup of the season in Veysonnaz, Switzerland.

ALEX SAYS
The 2012/2013 season had more ups and downs than I would have preferred, but I feel good about my comeback season following my knee injury. My healing process took much longer than I would have hoped, but I am back and I will be ready. I look forward to competing for a spot on the 2014 Sochi Team.

FIRST TRACKS
Tuttle’s Dad and sister tried to get him into skiing when he was six years old at Sugarloaf, Maine. He says that they ”weren’t much for skiing themselves so the majority of my learning came from school programs. A friend of mine got me to try a board about four years later and I knew where I wanted to take it.”

OFF THE SNOW
Tuttle enjoys doing anything outdoors. He loves to go fishing, camping, hiking, hunting, or biking. He says, “I just like fun in general.”
