BIO

Gus Schumacher, originally from Anchorage, Alaska has been on the Stifel U.S. Cross Country Ski Team since the 2018-19 season. He has accumulated many accolades through his career including being the first ever American to win a gold medal at the FIS Junior World Cross Country Championships and also secured one of the best American results at the FIS Tour de Ski with an 18th place. 

For the 2023-24 season, he looks to land in the top 15 at a North American World Cup, finish the season stronger than where he started and be patient with his training. AS he looks ahead, his overall gold is to win an Olympic medal or an overall discipline World Cup glove, be a good teammate and role model the whole way through. "Being a good friend and teammate with the group that I've been with for a long time means so much."

Outside of his passion for skiing, Gus is a student at the University of Alaska Anchorage working towards an engineering degree, is heavily involved with Protect our Winters (POW) and the Special Olympics and loves to mountain bike, wakesurf, play kendama, crossword puzzles and motocross riding.
