Ashton’s rise in freestyle aerials is built on intent and power — a U.S. skier chasing more than medals, soaring with the belief that every jump can redefine what’s possible on snow.

From quiet, solitary training sessions to the glow of floodlit FIS World Cup sites, Ashton has learned that the road to greatness in freestyle skiing isn’t stumbled upon — it’s built one leap, one sacrifice, one moment at a time.

Setbacks don’t stop Ashton — they shape him. Each obstacle adds purpose, proving that the journey isn’t only about tricks in the air, but about the art of rising higher every time he lands.

Ashton’s path runs through training in Switzerland, water sessions at the Utah Olympic Park, and World Cup stops in Lake Placid, Ruka and Almaty. Every flip, every flight adds to the story — all leading toward Milano-Cortina 2026.

A symbol of resilience and ambition in freestyle aerials, Ashton soars as a reminder that greatness isn’t given — it’s earned through courage, persistence, and the pursuit of flight at the highest level.

Standing alone in Team USA colors or representing the U.S. Ski Team under World Cup lights, Ashton keeps showing up — not just to compete, but to evolve into an athlete and person ready for the Olympics.
