Bennett Balogh

Professional World Cup Halfpipe Skier

Hello! My name is Bennett Balogh.  I am a current competitor on the US Revolution Tour circuit and I am known by my friends and coaches as "Sinor Alto" because I am 6' 4".  I grew up in Jackson, WY, and although I have skied mountains worldwide, I still consider my home mountain to be Jackson Hole.  When I was 6, I skied the famous "Corbet's Couloir" for the first time and haven't missed a season hitting this famous run. I graduated high school a year early with a semester of college from the University of Utah under my belt and have spent the last 2 seasons entirely focused on developing my skills in Halfpipe and Slopestyle.

 

This past year, I achieved one of my dreams of skiing in not just one, but two World Cups, at the US Grand Prix at Copper Mountain, CO, and Mammoth Mountain, CA. I also was lucky enough to earn a spot to ski at the Jr. Worlds in Cardrona, NZ but sadly, I could not compete due to a lack of snow that canceled the competition. This fall I have spent 3 months working on skill acquisition in Europe and am looking forward to the competition season ahead.

 

In my spare time, you will find me solving Rubix cubes (my record is 14.65 seconds on the 3 x 3), designing and sewing my own ski pants, designing, manufacturing, and selling custom keyboards, playing chess and piano, and coaching and skiing with other athletes, friends, and clients.

 

I look forward to getting on snow every single day and can't wait to share my love and passion for the halfpipe, park, and big mountain skiing with athletes of all skill sets. I am currently sponsored by the Monster Army and Marker Dalbello Volkl.

Ben Harrington

2022 Olympian

Hello! My name is Ben (Benni) Harrington and I am from Wanaka, New Zealand.  I was born and raised in the beautiful country of New Zealand by two rad ski bums. My passion for skiing started at a very young age and has continued to develop every year. I love nothing more than sharing my passion for skiing with others.

After graduating high school, I moved to Colorado full-time to pursue my ski career.  For the past several years I have been training and competing full-time, year-round as well as coaching local athletes part-time.
 
I am grateful that I have had major success in the last 2 seasons and achieved my childhood dream of competing in the X Games and the 2022 Winter Olympics!  When I am not skiing, you will find me surfing, mountain biking, road biking, or hanging out with my friends and family.

Cael Mccarthy

Professional World Cup Halfpipe Skier

Hello, my name is Cael McCarthy. I am a current competitor on the US Revolution Tour and Halfpipe World Cup circuit.  I have been skiing since I was 3. I started competing in halfpipe and slopestyle when I was 8 and have been loving it ever since! I grew up in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and moved to Park City in October of 2020. I attended the Winter Sports School that starts in April and ends in November. This allowed me to ski in the winter without the stress of school. I graduated in 2022 and have traveled across the world to ski.

This past ski season, I completed some important goals of mine. I competed at a halfpipe World Cup with the skiers I looked up to as a kid. I also placed second at a Nor-Am level halfpipe competition. Finally, I was invited to all three events for the Jr. World Championship (Halfpipe, Big Air, and Slopestyle). Unfortunately, the halfpipe was canceled, but I am very grateful to have competed in the other two events.

When I’m not skiing, you can find me in the gym or hanging with friends. I like to thrift, go-kart, and play board games (especially cribbage). 

Skiing with friends has brought unforgettable memories and experiences and has brought some of the best people into my life. Along with my partners, I would love to show everyone the true joy and bliss skiing can bring to your life. Currently, I am sponsored by Monster Army, Zeal Optics, Roxa ski boots, Wells Lamont, and Stance socks.
