BIOGRAPHY
The youngest of four kids, Eliza Outtrim tagged along on family ski weekends, and when a freestyle program got started at Vermont's Mount Snow, she and her brother signed on. She can be a laser beam through the bumps and adding stronger jumps, according to coaches, will make her even more of a World Cup challenger.

UPDATE
Outtrim had a breakthrough season in 2009 as she hit the full World Cup tour thanks to qualifying from the U.S. Selection events in December. She finished the season off with two top five results and is looking in top shape for the 2010 season. According to coaches, Eliza has some of the best turns on World Cup and with her air training focus this summer she could have the Olympic package.

FIRST TRACKS
Growing up in Hamden, CT, she and the family skied often, usually at Mount Snow in Vermont; when freestyle was started, she was on the first team. "There ere eight or 10 of us, and we'd ski Waterville Valley, Sunday River, sometimes at Killington. It was fun," she said. She enrolled at Lowell Whitman School in Steamboat and worked through the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club's heralded program. Outtrim kept punching her way up through the NorAms, and when she tied for second in NorAm moguls standings in 2005, she earned a ticket to the U.S. Ski Team.
