I am Lauren Jortberg (LoJo or Lo), a professional cross-country ski racer. I was born and raised in Boulder, Colorado. My love for cross-country skiing began in the Rocky Mountains at Devil's Thumb Ranch and Snow Mountain Ranch, where my family spent most of our weekends. I now train out of Stratton Mountain, Vermont, with the Stratton Mountain School (SMS) T2 team.
My first international start for the US Ski Team in Sweden in 2015 ignited a fire to be the best skier I could be on the world stage. My path to World Cup ski racing took some turns as I worked my way to a degree in environmental science from Dartmouth College while competing on the NCAA circuit. In my collegiate career, I earned 3x D1 All-American honors and 10+ top 20s at the World Junior Championships, U23 World Championships, and European Championships. In 2020, I suffered a season-ending crash, leading to sitting out my senior season at Dartmouth. In the summer of 2020, I received back and ankle surgery.
Since 2020, I've returned to international ski racing, starting my first World Cup in Lahti, Finland, in 2022; since then, I've been racing on the World Cup circuit for Team USA. Since 2022, I've started 22 World Cups, highlighted by my first Top-20 in Canmore with 19th place.

ABOUT MEI was born and raised in Boulder, Colorado. I grew up chasing my parents and big sister in the rocky mountains. At a young age, I realized my love for cross-country skiing and pursued my dreams of NCAA D1 collegiate ski racing at Dartmouth College. While at Dartmouth, I studied Environmental Science, and after my ski racing career, I'm looking to delve into a career in sustainability. After graduating in June 2020, I moved to Bozeman, Montana where I joined the Bridger Ski Foundation Pro Team. In June 2022, I headed back out East to join the SMS T2 Team in Stratton, Vermont.
