Who Is Scott Kauf? Wikipedia Of Skier Jaelin Kauf Father
According to Wikipedia, Jaelin Kauf’s father, Scott Kauf, was a five-time World Pro Mogul Tour champion.
Scott grew up in the Pacific Northwest where he worked at a resort. He started skiing moguls to boot-pack runs. He soon picked up the skill of skiing as he began competing as a teenager.
Scott conquered the U.S. Freestyle team and Pro Mogul Tour with his unique, mechanical style. They nicknamed him Robo-Kauf for his charm.
Moreover, Scott competed on the pro tour with Jaelin’s mother, Patti Kauf-Melehes. He was also a member of the U.S. Freestyle Skiing team in the early 1980s.
He says, “When you’re on a mogul run, you’re turning your skis quickly down the fall line, on and off your edges fast.”
Further added, “You pivot your ski into a swing turn that goes from the front side of the mogul to its apex, and down the backside. Where you stop one turn is where you start the next.”
