BIOGRAPHY
David DiGravio is a believer in the old saying, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog." At 5-6, he isn't the biggest guy on the hill, but his inner fire - fueled from the time his older brother was out-skiing him - keeps spurring him to do better.

UPDATE
As far as his coaches are concerned, David is one of the most determined athletes in the system. He trains hard, skies hard and competes with a vengeance. His energy is hard to miss and with the pull of the 2010 season calling, all eyes are on David to put forth a fierce competition during the Olympic season.

FIRST TRACKS
The DiGravios skied at Sugarloaf when he was tyke, and eventually moved from outside Boston to Farmington, less than an hour away. He entered CVA in the eighth grade. "We went from skiing weekends at Sugarloaf to making the fulltime commitment. Ever since I started, I've wanted to ski on the World Cup and go against the best guys in the world," he said. "To do that, you've got to practice every day, and CVA helped me do that. I didn't want to be just a weekend warrior." His multiple ski skills became especially apparent at the 2004 Junior Olympics at Idaho's Silver Mountain when he won the dual moguls title, took bronze in halfpipe (he was silver medalist in '02) and was fourth in moguls; in '05, DiGravio took silver in moguls, bronze in duals.

FIRST WORLD CUP
