The Basics

Kaylin Richardson followed her older brothers (Chris and Tom) into ski racing while growing up in the Minneapolis area. She began racing at 9 with Team Gilboa at Hyland Hills. Richardson was named to the Team for the 2003 season and quickly progressed through the ranks after winning back-to-back-to-back NorAm slalom titles in 2003; '04 and co-champion in '05. Richardson competed in her fist World Cup race on Dec. 15, 2002 in Sestriere, Italy. She earned her first World Cup points in 2005 at the San Sicario Combined even where she placed 16th. Since then Richardson has expanded from a 'tech' skier to a four event racer earning FIS World Cup points in all five events in the 2005 and 2006 World Cup Seasons. Despite ankle trouble at the beginning of the 2006 season Richardson was able to pull off top 15 and 20 results in Slalom and Giant Slalom. Her quick rise through the World Cup through the '05-'06 seasons earned her a nomination to the 2006 Olympic Alpine Team for women's slalom and combined; she ended up being named to the Olympic combined team but left off the slalom roster for fellow rising star Resi Stiegler.
