Birk Irving is taking his hardest trick, the double cork 1620, to the Olympics. For those not in the freeskiing universe, that’s two backflips plus four-and-a-half rotations. Irving was born and raised in Winter Park. He’s one of 23 Colorado athletes who will compete in the games starting this week.
