A powerful and technical skier, Norway's Hatveit has a history of stepping up at big events. He collected his 5th WX medal in 2012, a bronze in Slopestyle. One of the few skiers who excels at both rails and jumps, Hatveit separates himself from his competitors by spinning his doubles in different directions. While his competitors trot the globe looking for snow, Hatveit likes to stick closer to home and actually has his own terrain park in his backyard in Norway. He hosted his own event in 2011 called Backyard Battle, won by James Woods. His wife Elise is expecting the couple's first child, a boy, in April.
