Skicross

After joining the Canadian Ski Cross team in 2008, Whistler's Barr quickly went from a mid-pack racer to the front. He won his first World Cup in Park City in 2008 and finished 3rd at the World Cup stop in Cypress, CAN, in 2009 -- the same hill which will host the 2010 Olympics. A technical skier who starts fast, Barr has competed at WX since 2003. He has one WX medal in UltraCross, a silver earned with snowboarder Xavier de le Rue.
