Bahrke was the silver medalist in moguls at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, the bronze medalist at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, and in 2003 was the World Cup Champion. With her bronze medal in 2010, she became the first US women's freestyle skier to win multiple Olympic medals. Bahrke was also the 2009 US National Champion in dual moguls. She has reached the podium twice at the FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships, winning bronze in 2003 and silver in 2007, both in dual moguls. In 2008 she founded Silver Bean Coffee, a Salt Lake City based coffee roasting company.
Bahrke was born in Reno, Nevada to Dick and Trilla Bahrke, and raised in Tahoe City, California. The Bahrke family name originates in Norway; her paternal grandparents are from a town near Oslo. She began skiing at the age of three, and skied different resorts around Lake Tahoe while growing up. When she was 13, her talent was recognized by the coach of the freestyle team at Squaw Valley Ski Resort who convinced her to join the team. Besides skiing, Bahrke also participated in soccer, softball and track, and played trumpet in her high school bands.
