At a buck 80, Ted is one of the smaller skiers on the men’s World Cup Circuit, especially when you compare him to the big boys at 220 lbs. You set Ted next to an Aksel Lund Svindal or a Bode Miller and you get the point that when it comes to Newton’s law of gravity, he’s at a disadvantage.

When you look at him in the gym though, you can’t help but notice that this pint-sized shredder has a ton of talent and strength. My eyes nearly popped outa my sockets when I saw him do those back extensions with a 45 lb bar and what looks like 2 x 25 lb plates. Just insane.

Here’s a Park City TV video of Ted working it in the off-season. Definitely an intriguing expose on a racer with mission… enjoy:
