Joss Christensen made history on February 13, 2014 when he won the
first-ever gold medal for men’s Olympic slopestyle skiing.
At the Olympics, under sunny Sochi skies and spring-like conditions,
Christensen had the best day of skiing of his life. He threw down two
unbeatable runs in qualifiers and then went on to dominate finals with
another two unbeatable runs. His last run, a victory lap, included a
switch triple 1260 japan, a trick he had only learned earlier in the week
during practice.
Christensen’s parents got him started on skis at the age of three at
his backyard mountains of Park City and Deer Valley. It wasn’t long
before he was one of the smallest guys sending the biggest kickers
and locking onto the longest rails. Christensen picked up slopestyle
and halfpipe skiing by living next door to the best park features in the
world. With his well-rounded bag of tricks and clean style.
When not skiing, Christensen likes to play video games and get to the
gym. In the summer it’s all about mountain biking and skating the Park
City skate park. “I pretty much try to stay outdoors and away from my
couch!”
