Update: Sun Valley Olympic Connection: Curtis Bacca - Wax Tech to the stars

Curtis Bacca celebrating Nate Holland's 4-peat

ESPN profiles valley local, Curtis Bacca, owner of the waxroom in Ketchum who has been the x-factor in the X-Games.

Friday Update: Curtis' athletes came in 1st on the Women's side and 1st & 2nd on the Men's side in the time trials. Curtis is liveblogging on his SVO waxroom page. Stay tuned for Saturday commentary...

 

Curtis Bacca (BACK-uh) has contributed to more Winter X medals than any athlete in history, yet he's never competed. How? Because Bacca is the wax tech to the stars. Among his athlete clients is Nate Holland, who has ridden Bacca's wax to all four of his Snowboarder X gold medals. But Bacca's roster goes much deeper than that: At last count, Bacca's wax has helped earn 12 Winter X gold medals (including Skier X brothers Reggie and Zach Crist, Daron Rahlves and Lindsey Jacobellis) and 16 total medals.
