U.S. moguls champ Emiko Torito
EMIKO TORITO, 25, recently won the moguls title at the U.S. Freestyle Championships after a breakthrough season posting one win and three 3rd place World Cup podiums. Torito had so-so results last year — two top-20s — in U.S. World Cup contests last January and wound up spending the rest of the season in NorAms. "I am shaking. It's unreal," said Torito, after she capped off her successful season by winning the U.S. moguls title. "I know I had a successful year with World Cups and that was great, but there's just nothing like being able to say you're a national champion. It's really special." The Colorado-based skier credits hard work for the breakthrough and pure love for the sport, which is why you might even see her competing in some big-mountain contests just for fun.
