Teller was just warming up when he became the first American to win a skiercross World Cup (Jan. 2011, St. Johann, AUT): The part-time auto mechanic then netted his first Skier X medal -- gold in a near photo finish at WX 2011. One of a handful of American skiers competing in skiercross, Teller was a successful alpine racer who went to Nationals on four separate occasions. When he isn't bumping elbows on the course, Teller works at Alpine Garage in Mammoth to support his skiing; he receives very little funding and must go it alone. In July 2011, he married longtime girlfriend Angela Dessert.
