About

American freestyle skier (full name Nicholas Charles Goepper) born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, raised in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Originally a slopestyle specialist: bronze at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, silver at both the 2018 PyeongChang and 2022 Beijing Games - a three-time Olympic slopestyle medalist. Stepped away from competition in 2023 amid publicly-discussed mental health struggles, then returned specifically to pursue halfpipe. Won his first halfpipe World Championships medal (silver) at the 2025 Engadin/St. Moritz Worlds, and captured 2025 X Games halfpipe gold. At the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics he was in third place entering the final run of the halfpipe final and crashed attempting a switch double misty - a trick never before landed in competition - finishing fourth with a sprained knee and bone bruise. Took X Games halfpipe silver in January 2026, finishing behind Finley Melville Ives.
