Who is a pro that started skiing when they were "older"?

[bryanw]

A few years ago I was talking with someone and they said one of the bigger pros didnt start skiing or doing freestyle till they were "older" like their 20s or something. I think one example was Chris Turpin.

Do you all know of anyone else big in the game started "later"

I think Colby West started pretty late, like college. I’m not sure if that was skiing in general, or more specifically freestyle stuff,

Colby is overated in my opinion, both in skiing and in comedy. Maybe if he had some video of him ranting about something it would be funny idk. His skits are kinda dorky.
