About #
Aidan started Nordic skiing at age 11 after moving to Mazama, WA, located in the North Central Cascades near the Canadian border. The ability to ski out your front door and the Methow Nordic team fostered his love for snow sports. Starting biathlon at age 12, Aidan found love for a new sport, he enjoys practicing with his younger brother and sister at their home range.
Outside of biathlon, Aidan enjoys golfing, soccer, running, and fishing.
