Crosscut Mountain Sports Center (TUNA)

Vincent is the son of Tom & Kristin Bonacci and has two siblings, Katy & Joseph. He began biathlon in 2017 at the age of 17. He began cross-country skiing with TUNA at 4 years old and since he was always a Nordic skier, Vincent found that he enjoyed the shooting aspect. He first got the opportunity to try biathlon with Novice Biathlon at the West Yellowstone Ski Festival in 2012 (thanks, Marc!). When the biathlon club near him began, he joined as soon as he heard! Vincent's idol is James Hunt and his biggest influencer is former U.S. biathlete and current U.S. Biathlon Director of Athlete Development Tim Burke. His favorite venue to race at is Soldier Hollow!

Outside of biathlon, Vincent enjoys reading, the NYT mini crossword, espresso, and bike riding.
