One of Kendall Kramer’s lifelong goals when she was a young ski racer was to represent the United States in cross country skiing. This past season, she not only represented the Stifel U.S. Cross Country Ski Team at various World Cup events but was a member of Team USA at the highest level of sport, the 2026 Olympic Winter Games. Many would say her goals were met, but Kramer is always looking for more, which is why she is the U.S. Ski & Snowboard and Zions Bank “On the Rise” athlete.
