PARK CITY, Utah — Abby Ringquist and her husband Jake welcomed their second son, Scout Yeti Ringquist, on Labor Day, September 4, 2023.

Scout now shares the same birthdate with his dad and his maternal grandpa, Bob Hughes, three generations of boys.

Jake is the Slope Grooming Assistant Manager at Deer Valley and Abby represented the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team/USA Nordic with a top 30 result in Nordic Ski Jumping at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games.

“I am so madly in love with my boy crew. We are going to have so much fun,” Abby said on Facebook. “Never have I ever felt so complete. Feeling fortunate we went through and experienced polar opposite journey’s from Boone to Scout. Both resulted in extremely healthy and strong boys and I’m just feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude, luck, love and pure bliss.”

Never one to take all the credit for anything she’s involved in, on or off the snow, Abby told TownLift about her friends, “Jennifer Hudak had her second baby on the 3rd and Faye Gulini is due in a few weeks with her first. Lots of athletic babies on their way this month!”

Four top 25s in four Winter Olympic Games has had Salt Lake City Snowboarder Gulini busy representing the U.S. in Vancouver 2010, Sochi 2014, PyeongChang 2018, and Beijing 2022.

Both Olympians also matriculated at Westminster University in Salt Lake City.

The Ringquists are raising their sons in their cabin on their acreage in the Kamas Valley.

Congratulations also to freestyle skier, and Parkite, Hudak and her husband Chris. She was the winner of the 2004 US Freeski Open, the 2005 and the 2006 Juunior National and the National Halfpipe Championships.
