  Brief Biography

  When Omischl was 4, his mother taught him to ski on a hill that was a three-minute walk from their house. His interest in aerials was sparked at the age of 14 when he saw a freestyle event in North bay. He attended a water ramp camp in Lake Placid, at age 15 and was hooked on the sport. Omischl finished high school in 1997, although he missed his graduation ceremony to attend a competition.
