About Joseph
Joseph Walling started skiing young with his parents in Palmer, Alaska. He skied four varsity seasons for Palmer High School, winning the regional title every year, placing in the top 10 at the Alaska State Championships three times, and earning All-State and Region Skier of the Year honors twice. His biggest junior result was seventh in the U20 10K classic at U.S. Junior Nationals. He raced four seasons for the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth while studying computer information systems, then stayed in the Midwest to keep racing. His favorite place to race is Houghton, where he placed 11th in the 20K mass start at the 2025 CCSA Championships. His long-term goal is to coach a Nordic ski team.
