In 2020 Hopfinger became the first skier to land a double backflip into Jackson Hole's Corbet's Couloir, the achievement that put him on TGR's radar. Raised in western New York, he moved to Bozeman, Montana around 2016 to attend Montana State University and has since bought land near the Idaho-Wyoming border. A former ski racer turned freerider, he is sponsored by LINE Skis - he co-designed LINE's Optic 114, which he calls 'seriously my favorite ski in the world right now' - and by Rab for outerwear. He also appears in Benshi Creative's Mixtape project and the TV show Ultimate Mountain Athlete.
