My name is Nolan Van Harte, a Colorado native, with a background of big mountain skiing and ski patrolling. I have pursued an education in outdoor emergency care earning a certificate as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and have also pursued professional certificates within snow and avalanche science. My role within my six year career as a ski patroller was an Avalanche Forecaster, being in charge of complex avalanche terrain and consequential decision making. 

Only recently in late 2019 did I discover my love and passion for mountain biking. It first began with strapping skis to my backpack and utilizing the bike to approach Spring ski lines rather than hiking the approach. Soon after I began using the bike to see places I’ve never been to before, consisting of high alpine single track, old mining towns and roads, and 12,000 foot + peaks around the state. My interest in adventure quickly progressed into all-day endurance rides which rapidly propelled my fitness into what it is today. My first mountain bike race in 2019 was a part of the local Summit County race series, and after placing 1st in the sport category I realized that I’d rather race in the category that would push me into a more fitness-oriented mindset; I have raced in the pro/open category ever since. 

I ride not to race, but to discover new trails and adventure, and to uncover my mental and physical potential. I am beyond excited to be racing with the athletes of PurEnergy Performance, as our potential is untapped and ready to grow beyond just an elite off-road cycling team.
