Today I’m talking with Olympic medalist and X Games champion Nick Goepper about his journey from growing up in the Midwest to becoming one of the most decorated freestyle skiers of his generation. We talk about his early inspirations; his rise through slopestyle; the pressures and highlights of competing on the Olympic stage; and why he ultimately decided to transition to halfpipe.
Nick also shares stories from the Olympic Village; what it felt like to win X Games gold in 2025; his off-season project, “Rollerblade Ranch”; and his tips on how to spin a 360. If you want a behind-the-scenes look at the mindset, struggles, and triumphs of one of skiing’s most recognizable athletes, you won’t want to miss this one.
