Hart Athletes Today

    Patrick Deneen 

A member of the USSA team and considered by many to be the fastest mogul skier in competition, Patrick is an aggressive and skilled freestylist who is passionate about Hart Skis.

Patrick got a break growing up in Washington - his father was part owner and general manager of a ski resort, so young Deneen was on skis before he was a year old. He started with alpine racers, but kept watching freestyle skiers, and eventually made the change to running bumps.

Winning the '07 NorAm duals title earned Deneen, who has shown blazing speed through a moguls course, another shot with the U.S. Ski Team. He was on the podium in all four NorAm events - a win, two second-place results and a third as he edged Holt Haga by eight points for the title.

His career is being followed by many insiders as he rises through today’s competitive field of athletes.

   Sam Shallow

Sam has been competing as a ski racer his whole life. His parents and grandparents grew up racing, and one of the first pair of skis he received was Harts.

Sam grew up on the east coast racing for Suicide Six Ski Team and Killington Mountain School. As a junior in high school he moved to Truckee to attend Sugar Bowl Academy graduating in 2002.

Sam has been racing ski cross since 2003 with the World Tour, traveling all over the US and France. In 2007 the World Tour became the Jeep King of the Mountain Tour, made up of the top forty ski cross athletes to qualify for the top twenty spots.

Sam is excited for the 2008 season and is training very hard and will be competing in all Jeep King Tour events. The X Game Qualifiers will also be a primary date on his ski cross schedule.

Hart is excited about our partnership with Sam. We expect great things.
