Gus Kenworthy slopestyle and halfpipe freeskier. He spent his childhood skiing the legendary steeps and backcountry of Telluride putting him on the path to winning a Silver medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics at Scochi, Russia..

Kenworthy first gained recognition for his park skiing with one of his ski movie edits he posted on the Internet. He then began filming with well-known ski production companies and working his way into the freeskiing elite, a place he intends to stay.

Kenworthy then had a clean sweep of the Aspen/Snowmass Open slopestyle and halfpipe skiing events in both 2010 and 2012, which he followed up by winning the 2011 and 2012 AFP overall titles. In the 2012 season, he competed in more than 23 events and took dual wins in big air and slopestyle at the final event of the season, the AFP World Championships.

After putting his time in, 2013 proved to be a breakthrough season for Kenworthy. With over 20 competitions under his belt, he took second at the Olympic venue halfpipe World Cup in Sochi, Russia and won his first X Games medal in Tignes: a bronze in slopestyle. The momentum is pointing Kenworthy exactly where he would like it to…to Sochi, Russia.

For the past few years, Kenworthy hasn’t had much of an off-season. He’s been traveling from one place to another, chasing the snow and living in a perpetual winter season. When he gets the chance to kick back and unwind, you can find him skateboarding. In the month leading up to the first events of the season, he spends a lot of time jumping on trampolines and doing as much off-mountain training as he can.
