Drew Hooker

Pittsburgh / Park City, USA | Active: 2020-present public ski record | Discipline: Creative Park, Street-Inspired Skiing and Slopestyle | Known for: SuperUnknown 20, WTRG, Bucket Clips, Red Bull Cascade

Mammoth Spring When SuperUnknown Turned Twenty

The Mammoth Unbound park had spring light on the takeoffs, soft landings under the jump line, and a Level 1 camera crew waiting for skiers who could make one feature look different twice. Drew Hooker arrived in April 2023 as one of the women’s SuperUnknown 20 finalists, selected into a field built around edits rather than standard contest ranking. She was 18, skiing beside finalists from the United States, Canada and Europe, with invited pros moving through the same park. For a skier without a World Cup résumé, that week mattered. It placed her inside one of freeskiing’s most respected video gateways.

Pittsburgh Roots On A Park City Sheet

Hooker’s official FIS profile lists her as an American freestyle skier born in 2004, with Park City Ski and Snowboard attached to her record. Red Bull Cascade later listed her hometown as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and her age as 20 for the 2025 athlete roster. Those two details give the profile its useful map: a skier with Pennsylvania roots whose public competition and creative life became tied to Utah and the wider park scene.

The FIS record does not support presenting Hooker as a World Cup athlete or medal contender. Her public competitive footprint is lighter. It includes FIS and Nor-Am slopestyle entries, including a Nor-Am start at Copper Mountain in January 2023. The stronger story is not rankings. It is the move from structured slopestyle starts into video contests, rail-heavy edits, and collaborative women’s ski projects.

Woodward, Brighton And The WTRG Mini Tour

In 2023, Hooker appeared in WTRG, an Arsenic Anywhere project filmed around Utah with Marist Wrenn, Ella Andrews and Marea Adams. Freeskier described the crew heading to Woodward Park City and Brighton Resort, with Wrenn and Hooker holding down the Brighton stop. The edit gave her a clearer public lane than most score sheets could offer.

That lane is rail skiing. Woodward Park City gives controlled takeoffs, shaped features and lap repetition. Brighton brings a looser Wasatch park texture, with weather, crowds and natural resort rhythm pushing each session slightly off script. WTRG placed Hooker in a compact group of women skiers where the focus was not podiums, but metal: tube slides, rail balance, transfer timing, edge control and shared session energy.

SuperUnknown 20 And The Mammoth Test

Level 1’s SuperUnknown format has always rewarded skiers who can speak through video. Hooker’s selection for SuperUnknown 20 placed her with Audrey Friess, Caoimhe Heavey, Isabelle Lacour, Laura Wallner, Connie Brogden and a larger coed finalist list. The same Mammoth week brought established pros into the park, including names such as Parker White, Chris Logan, Tom Wallisch, Lucas Wachs, Taylor Lundquist and Tereza Korábová.

That setting is valuable because it removes the safety of a single home park. A finalist has to adapt quickly: new rails, larger jumps, unfamiliar camera angles, soft spring snow, long sessions and the pressure of skiing around riders whose clips already shaped the culture. Hooker did not win the event, but the finalist selection gives her record a recognized creative marker.

Bucket Clips And The Wider FLINTA* Platform

Bucket Clips became another important part of Hooker’s public identity. iF3 listed her among the athletes in Bucket Clips 3, a 20-minute film designed to highlight FLINTA* and female skiers from around the world, with crews filming street, backcountry and freeride clips. That context matters. The project was built specifically to give space to skiers often missed by the traditional contest and sponsor pipeline.

Hooker’s role continued into later Bucket Clips activity. In 2026, Newschoolers interviewed Rosina Friedel about a Bucket Clips street trip to Sundsvall, Sweden. Friedel said Audrey Friess and Drew Hooker helped her a lot, and described the trip as six days of skiing where the crew got a clip every day. That is more than a name in a cast list. It places Hooker inside the working structure of a women-led ski project.

Sundsvall Rails And The Sweden Street Thread

Sundsvall is known in the ski community for winter street spots, especially rails, stairs and urban features that attract crews when the snow lines up. The Bucket Clips trip there gave Hooker a different setting from Mammoth or Utah. Street skiing asks for patience before it asks for tricks: shovel work, speed checks, tow-ins, traffic timing, cold hands and repeated attempts on features that were never built for skiing.

That environment fits the technique visible across her strongest public references. Hooker’s skiing is not built around giant rotation count. The record points instead toward z-tubes, rails, flat bars, tube features, transfers, 50/50 control, switch entries, sideways pressure and the ability to stay composed when the takeoff is imperfect. Those details fit the current creative park lane better than a classic slopestyle-progress narrative.

Solitude And Team No Speed Checks

Red Bull Cascade 2025 gave Hooker a larger event stage without turning her into a standard contest skier. The event at Solitude Mountain Resort used a mile-long course with natural elements, jumps, hips, gaps, tree sections and man-made features. Runs were judged through creativity, speed, choice of line, difficulty and energy, not a normal FIS slopestyle breakdown.

Hooker was listed on Team No Speed Checks with Aaron Blunck, Luke Price, Ryan McElmon and Robert Ruud. The team finished second with 177.6 points, behind Team 1738. That result is useful because it places her beside highly visible freeskiers in an event designed for all-mountain creativity. It also matches the rest of her profile: less about fixed judging formulas, more about line choice and feature interpretation.

The Honest Ceiling Of The Current Record

Hooker’s page should stay precise. She is not an Olympic finalist, X Games medalist or World Cup podium skier based on the available public record. The verified profile is narrower: Park City Ski and Snowboard on FIS, SuperUnknown 20 finalist, WTRG skier, Bucket Clips participant, Bucket Clips street-trip contributor, Red Bull Cascade athlete and a creative park skier connected to Utah, Mammoth, Sweden and Pittsburgh.

That is enough for a 2/5 page because the story has real public anchors. The next step for a larger profile would be more documented film parts, named sponsors, event results, or a central role in a full project. For now, Drew Hooker belongs on skipowd.tv as an emerging creative skier whose value sits in rails, women-led crews, video projects and alternative events rather than traditional rankings.
