Scott Kneller

Scott knows only too well that ski cross is a rough and tumble sport that relies heavily on making the right decision in a split second, backed up with a share of good fortune. Scott, who is studying Civil Engineering and Commerce at the University of New South Wales, has clearly demonstrated that he is an analytical and strategic skier with the ability to piece together the right race plan and execute it well, demonstrated by the fact that he is already a World Cup winner.
Despite his youthful age, Australia’s number one male ski cross athlete has become a leader of the team, with strong results and mentoring skills for teammates. It is no secret that the entire ski cross team look up to him, and not just because of his ability on skis.
