Eventually he gained himself a spot in four Olympics, winning a gold medal at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano Japan.

Towards the end of Bergy’s career in the competitive ski world, he decided to start distributing dry suits. These suits are often used for practicing aerial skiing into a pool. Once again he used his ingenuity. This time he redesigned/ tailored the dry suits . These custom Airbergy dry suits are now the standard suit used for training in that sport. The sewn in cuffs, also know as “seal guards”, help protect the rubber seal’s from being overly exposed to UV . This extends the life of the seals keeping them from prematurely drying out. The suits looks great in the air and ground thanks to the redesigned fit / cuffs. The lower cuffs are made in a way to protect the suit from ski edges. Also keeping in mind that aerialist need certain range of motion in the air, the suits have been designed especially for flipping and twisting.
Since Bergy has taken on a busy coaching schedule for the U.S. Ski Team. His younger brother Dan A.K.A. Big Dan B. has taken on the responsibility of selling / keeping inventory up for the Airbergy dry suit business. Dan is a valuable asset to the company because he also has experience as a freestyle aerial skier for the U.S. Ski team. After skiing he went into the upholstering / sewing business. He has taken that experience in sewing / design to the freestyle skiing world. Making alterations / enhancements to the ski suit uniforms used by some of the best skiers in the world. He is open to new ideas & prospects that have to do with sewing design / freestyle skiing.
