Hunter loves speed, he loves to compete, and he loves to win. The
talented racer is growing up with Vail Mountain in his backyard and it's no
wonder that he is becoming the USA's next great promise. Following in his sister Sarah Schleper's steps, his sights are set on surpassing her career with World Cup victories in all events and Olympic medals. Hunter goes big. He can pull maneuvers in the park that would make Tanner Hall turn his goggles. He has a heart for big cliffs and deep powder. This kid is going places. Aside from skiing Hunter is passionate about wakeboarding. Spending nearly every summer on Watab Lake, Minnesota, Hunter has turned wakeboarding from hobby into contest. His run includes an "air raily," "540," and numerous flips. When he is not on the snow or in the water his Pa is putting him to work carrying wood, laying rock, or digging holes, true to the "Rocky Balboa" style of conditioning. Hunter has everything to take him to the top: experience, passion, and spunk. Watch as he navigates the ruts and battles the gates on his way to the World Cup.
