BIOGRAPHY
Since his first days of running bumps, it's always been moguls for Park City's Nate Roberts - never alpine, never a deviation. He made his World Cup debut in 2003, won his first World Cup contest the next season and captured the Worlds gold medal in moguls in '05.
UPDATE
Roberts was injured for the 2009 season, but is ready to roll into the 2010 season a strong contender. The World Champion has a strong desire to compete in Vancouver after barely missing the team in 2006. Coaches expect him to return to being a top three skier in the world for 2010 and also a medal contender in Vancouver.
FIRST TRACKS
Roberts was skiing at 3 in Park City and moved into moguls competition at 7. "It's been moguls all the way," he said. "I never raced." Winning the 2003 NorAm moguls title was a major confidence boost for him. And when he won his first World Cup a year later - under the lights at Madonna di Campiglio, coaches said they could see a major pick-me-up in his confidence as he realized he really did belong with the world's best.
