A Post by Elior, our Birds of Prey Young Ambassador

Meet Elior, our youngest ambassador to the Audi Birds of Prey World Cup Race Week. Elior's dad is a photographer here and brought Elior along to learn about ski racing. We've given him some assignments in writing and math and he has been a great addition to the team!

From Elior:

I was born on October 20, 2000. I'm 11  years old and I like to play board games. I have a mom named Monica (51 years old), a sister named Naomi (8 years old), and a dad named Nathan (54 years old). I was born in Tel Aviv, Israel and moved to Crested Butte, CO when I was 10 months old and lived there ever since. I'm an enriched kid in my grade (5th) and some people call me the future Einstein (because I do 6th grade math) even though I am not the best speller with common words. I came to the world cup with my dad because I got a fifth grade pass for free. It allows you ski in 21 participating resorts 3 days in each one.



 Here are my photos from yesterday.
