He is a member of the US ski team, and participated in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.[1] Bahrke was not originally named to the Olympic team, but was added to the team five days before the men's aerials event to replace Dylan Ferguson, who was recovering from a recent appendectomy.[2] In his Olympic debut, Bahrke scored 168.72 in the first round of competition and was ranked 23rd. He did not qualify for the finals.[3]
