Scotty Bahrke (born July 19, 1985) is an American freestyle skier specializing in aerial skiing. 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]

Bahrke's older sister Shannon is also an Olympic freestyle skier for the US.[1]
