McJames switches to Fischer Skis

U.S. Ski Team member Megan McJames has signed with Fischer skis to provide her skis and boots for the upcoming season.

The 22-year-old, Park City, Utah native was forced to revamp her equipment setup when her previous provider, Dynastar, pulled out of the U.S. Ski Team pool and dropped her sponsorship. 

“I am happy to announce that, after a thorough testing camp in Mammoth, California, I finally found the right company, Fischer,” wrote McJames on her blog. “I will be competing on Fischer skis and boots this upcoming season and think that this change may be a blessing in disguise because, although I had a great time trying all the different companies’ setups, I really like the way the Fischer setup works with my skiing style.”

McJames joins U.S. teammates Steven Nyman and Tim Jitloff on the Fischer brand team. 

Last season saw McJames win three NorAm Cup races and finish third overall in the NorAm standings. She also grabbed two top-25 World Cup results.

In addition to her equipment change, McJames announced on her blog that she  has taken a summer job at a Park City bakery to follow her second love.

“I am hoping this job will allow me to learn a lot about preparing food and also how to run a bakery,” blagged McJames. “I have thoroughly enjoyed my first few days at my new job and don’t feel that dipping cookies in chocolate and decorating tarts can be called work!”
