Tricia Mangan is a US Alpine speed skier currently competing on the World Cup Circuit and the US Alpine Ski Team. Outside of skiing, Tricia is an avid adventurer, enthusiastic friend, and recent Mechanical Engineering graduate from Dartmouth College.
"Growing up in Buffalo, NY with five siblings, I took an alternative path to the US Ski Team. I opted out of attending a ski academy for financial and family reasons and because I firmly believe this wasn’t the only path to the top. I was a chaotic skier from a tiny mountain in Western New York and only trained a couple of times a week. But I always knew my path made me the underdog and this mindset fueled my passion for always improving myself and my skiing on and off the hill."
