2010 was the best and worst of times for two time Olympian Anders Johnson of Park City, UT. Following an off- season knee injury and surgery, he went on to recover and make the US Olympic Team for Vancouver. Anders showed his true toughness in bouncing back so quickly, even though it required much dedication and hard work. Anders saw great success in 2012 at the famed FIS Cup event at Brattleboro's Harris Hill, by taking a pair of wins. With the coming FIS World Nordic Championships this February, the sky is the limit.
Anders was born April 23, 1989, in Plattsburgh NY. He started jumping at age three in Lake Placid—his dad, Alan, is a former USST coach, well known figure in the Nordic world, and member of the Board of Directors for USA Ski Jumping.
The 23-year-old tied with Pete Frenette for the US National large hill title in August in Park City, then followed it up the next day with an outright win on the normal hill. The season is starting off right for Anders.
Still with things to work on, he says his best jumps are still to come. We like that.
