Justin Easter, a Maine native, spent four years at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. Much of Justin's athletic career, to date, was spent running cross-country and track and field for the Bobcats of Bates. Although much of Justin's career was spent with running shoes on, his true love is on skis. As a result, it is no surprise he has chosen to be a member of the Subaru Factory Team for the upcoming season. Justin's newness to the sport will leave him with some slightly different goals in the American Marathon Series. Success is not an expectation, but he hopes to gain from this year valuable experience for his years of skiing that lie ahead. With aspirations of making the U23 World Championships, and eventually finding his way onto the US Ski Team, Justin will attempt to pass his enthusiasm and love for the sport to those he comes into contact with this season.
