Career at Colorado—Hoye wrapped up a solid career in 2014 that saw him help the Buffs claim two NCAA Championships, as a freshman in 2011 and again as a junior in 2013 when he competed for the Buffs at the championships. In 35 career races, he had 22 top 20 finishes and eight top 10s to his credit. He is a legacy Buff as his brother Henrik was a five-time All-American and part of CU’s 2006 NCAA Championship squad. An outstanding student, he was three times named to the National All-Academic Ski Team and earned mention in CU’s 4.0 Club in 2012. He was named second-team All-RMISA in 2012 and was given the team’s outstanding career award after the conclusion of his career.

2014 (Senior)—Hoye missed the first four races of the season and was not 100 percent for the six races he did compete in through the RMISA Championships. In those six races, he had two top 20 finishes with a top finish of 15 in both freestyle and classic action. His 15th place finish in freestyle was at CU’s Spencer James Nelson Memorial Invitational and his classic 15th place finish was at the RMISA Championships. In the classroom he earned mention on the 2014 National Collegiate All-Academic Ski Team for maintaining above a 3.5 cumulative grade point average. He was honored with the team’s Outstanding Career Award at the conclusion of his career, an award that his brother was given in its inaugural season in 2006.

2013 (Junior)—Hoye competed in 10 of the 12 races his junior season, finishing them all and brining home eight top 20 and two top 10 finishes. Both of his top 10 finishes were in classical races, first claiming eighth at the New Mexico Invitational and then 10^th at the Utah Invitational. He has his best pair of finishes at the RMISA Championships, finishing 12th in the classical race and 11th in the freestyle race, cementing his spot on the NCAA contingent. He finished 18th in the classical race at the NCAA Championships and battled illness to a 32nd place finish in the freestyle race, already knowing midway through the race that the Buffs had secured the NCAA Championship. He earned mention on the Division I National All-Academic Ski Team for attaining a 3.5 grade point average and competing in the RMISA Championships.

2012 (Sophomore)—Hoye competed in 11 of the 12 races in his sophomore season, finishing all of them, and bringing home nine top 15 finishes with five top 10 and one top five finish. He opened the season with a 24th place finish in the freestyle race and then sat out the classical race at the CU Invitational after having recently returned to altitude. He then got his bearings, finishing 15th in the classic race and 11th in the freestyle race at the Denver Invitational the following week. He was then at his best in a Alaska for a pair of meets in which he finished in the top eight in all four races. He took eighth in both freestyle races, both career bests, and then had a fourth and sixth place finish in the classical races, also the two best performances of his career. He continued the impressive racing in Montana, finishing seventh in the classical race and 11th in the freestyle race at the RMISA Championships before bringing home 15th (classical) and 23rd (freestyle) places at the NCAA Championships. He earned second-team All-RMISA and was named to CU’s 4.0 Club for his performance in the classroom.

2011 (Freshman)—Hoye competed in eight races in his freshman season and finished seven of them with three top 20 finishes and one top 10. In his final race of the season, he finished seventh at the RMISA Championships, helping the Buffs to a win at that event. He proved to be slightly stronger in classical races, finishing in the top 20 in three of the four races there. His only finish outside the top 20 in classical was a 22nd at the New Mexico Invitational, always different because of the high elevation nearing 10,000 feet. Ironically, his 25th place finish in the freestyle race there was his best of the season, although he finished between 25 and 31 in his three freestyle finishes.

Club—Hoye came to Colorado with 15 years of skiing experience on the Heming Ski Club team. Prior to coming to Colorado, he took home 83rd place at the Norwegian National Championships in the 50-kilometer mass star classical race, less than a month after he finished 43rd at the Scandinavian Cup in the 15-kilometer freestyle race. He compiled two top 20 finishes in Switzerland in 2009 including a 20th place in the 15K classical mass start at Evolene.

High School—Hoye graduated from Ullern Gymnasium in Oslo, Norway, in 2008. There he was part of the Norwegian Championship rowing team in the eight person boat both his junior and senior years. He also was second place at the Norwegian Championships in both the 2-person and4-person boats as a junior.

In the Classroom—Hoye graduated with a degree in Business from the Leeds School of Business. He was named to the National Collegiate All-Academic Ski team three times and earned mention on CU’s 4.0 Club as a sophomore.

Personal—Andreas Wold Hoye was born December 22, 1989, in Melbourne, Norway and he calls Oslo his hometown. He is the son of Trond Hoye and Kari Weld and his brother, Henrik, who was a five-time All-American and part of CU’s last national championship team in 2006. Henrik won the Dick Schoenberger Memorial Award as CU’s outstanding skier in 2005 and was one of two inaugural winners of the Outstanding Career Performance Award in 2006, an award that Andreas won as a senior in 2014. His favorite food is pancakes and he enjoys romantic movies and long walks on the beach. He chose Colorado because it was his best option to combine skiing and school.
