Education
Bahrke started skiing at 3 years old with her mom, Trilla. In seventh grade, a high school coach convinced her to try alpine racing. It took daily calls for two months from a Squaw Valley coach to eventually get her to give freestyle a shot. Her brother, Scotty, is an aerialist on the U.S. Ski Team. In 2003, Bahrke suffered a season-ending broken jaw in Japan. She missed the 2008 season after blowing out her knee on the eve of the first World Cup competition.
