Andrew Weibrecht, the fourth of five children, was born in Lake Placid, New York on February 11, 1986. While he was still a youngster, Andrew begged and pleaded with his parents to allow him to join one of his older brothers who was skiing daily on a nearby slope. His parents eventually gave in and Andrew has been skiing since that time

It hasn't always been easy and there have been many setbacks, perhaps more than there have been successes, but in 1992, Andrew, at the tender age of 16, enjoyed a rousing success when he made the United States Ski Team. Although short in stature at only 5' 6", Andrew has managed to become extremely competitive in races where opponents are generally much taller. His events are Downhill Racing, Super G and Combined. And while Weibrecht has yet to win any of these events, in World Cup competition and in U.S. Amateur competition, he has progressed steadily and quickly and is, today, considered an up-and-coming potential start. Clearly, he has shown flashes of what can be in some of the events in which he has been entered. In 2005, Andrew finished 4th in Slalom at the U.S. National Championship competition. In 2007, he dazzled onlookers with his now-famous "wild trip" down the slopes during World Cup competition, an event in which he finished a very encouraging and noteworthy 10th.

A student at Dartmouth University, Andrew will take time off from classes to compete in his first Olympics which are being held in 2010 at Vancouver, British Columbia. He has a chance for a medal if he can complete the course on each run and avoid the costly DNF.
