BIOGRAPHY
Kloser has been a sport fanatic since day one. Almost immediately, she realized her true love for skiing. Kloser's father’s background in moguls and growing up on a mountain are the two main reasons why she has two sticks attached to her feet most of the time.

As soon as she was able to rip up the slopes, Kloser was headed right for the bumps and jumps. Six years after her introduction to skiing, she entered her first moguls competition at the age of seven. Kloser tore into her World Cup rookie season in 2010 with four consecutive top-15 finishes, earning her the FIS World Cup women’s moguls Rookie of the Year title. Four NorAm podiums including two wins then sealed the overall title. As a U.S. Ski Team sophomore, she hauled in three World Cup top-10 finishes and added a bronze medal in duals at U.S. National Championships.

In 2012, Kloser notched a career high fourth-place World Cup result on home snow in Deer Valley along with another top-ten result to make the World Cup top 20 in the season standings. 

HIEDI SAYS 
The Highlight of my season was getting fourth place at the Deer Valley World Cup. I had a great time skiing that night, it was just so fun and I put down some really good runs. This season I learned that I have to figure out a way to get through tough spots and hope that it just makes me stronger in the end. The most fun parts of my season were the days when I put down good runs in training or competition and just felt happy. Those days remind why I love skiing so much.

I am really looking forward to being able to ski again since my season got cut short in 2012. I am also looking forward to the World Championships. Hopefully I will make it and be able to better than I did 2011. Also, I just want to keep improving my skiing and such to prepare for the 2014 Olympics.

FIRST TRACKS
Kloser began slaying the hill at the ripe age of one with her father at Vail, CO. “Growing up in Vail gave me so many opportunities to excel in sports,” she says. “I raced in the town mountain bike series and the town Nordic series. I got my start in moguls competitions in Vail's Mogul Mania events at age seven. I was hooked. My dad had competed in moguls and owned and operated the World Pro Mogul Tour in the 1980's, so it is in my blood.” 

OFF THE SNOW
Kloser has always done a lot of mountain and road biking and grew up climbing the Colorado 14ers with her family. “I like to play ball sports, I find them fun and good training,” she says. “I also enjoy nordic skiing, kayaking and anything adventurous.”
