Fin Bailey makes his debut on the Stifel U.S. Cross Country Ski Team at only 18. Bailey, who has racked up the cross country skiing accolades, joins a strong class of next-generation skiers on the D Team. Initially raised in Vermont, Bailey grew up skiing in the Bill Koch league, where you'd often see him making jumps and "jibbing" instead of doing your typical training - at the end of the day, he credits "having fun" when asked why he loves skiing. Now, Bailey trains with the Stratton Mountain School (SMST2) team alongside the American sports greats Jessie Diggins, Ben Ogden, Julia Kern, and more.

Bailey is known for sprinting, as evidenced by his SuperTour and Junior National Championship victories. He is taking that talent to the University of Vermont, where he hopes to compete on the EISA circuit.
