U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist Ted Ligety is teaming up with Youth Enrichment Services to help pay for urban youth to get outdoors where they’ll learn how to ski and snowboard and, in turn, build self-confidence and gain invaluable life skills.
Ted Ligety
This Park City Utah resident enjoys tennis, water skiing, playing badminton, and formula one racing when he is not skiing slopes. His heart and passion has fueled him to only go further. Just recentlly Ted won at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, in the men’s giant slalom, 12th in men’s super combined, 14th in men’s super G.
