Jeremy Transue is an American alpine skier. Born June 1, 1983, Jeremy was introduced to skiing at 18 months. He began racing at age 6 at Hunter Mountain, New York, where his father Bruce was Operations Manager. For high school, he attended the Green Valley Mountain School in Vermont where he honed his racing abilities. Later on, he joined the US Ski Team (USST) as a C-Squad member. However, since the C-Squad is age-capped at 24, Jeremy came under pressure to achieve and move up to B-Squad. After winning three late-season FIS races in 2007, including the absolute last of the season by a one second margin, Worm, as he is known, came through. A member of the 2007-2008 USST B-Squad, he is currently ranked in the top 100 worldwide in the Super-G and Downhill disciplines. Jeremy is sponsored by the Rossignol ski company.
