FIRST TRACKS
Born in Steamboat Springs, Colo., Fletcher could practically ski before he could walk. His father, a ski patroller, and mother, a real estate agent played a huge role getting Fletcher on skis and involved in sports at an early age. However, it was following the footsteps of his older brother, Bryan, that led him to competition. At the ripe age of 4, Fletcher was enrolled at the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club with Bryan, his role model. Since then it has been full steam ahead for Fletcher.
