David Wise

David Wise has nothing left to prove—three Olympic appearances, two gold medals, and a silver say it all. His trophy case overflows with nearly every title, trophy and medal worth winning from more than a decade at the top. Yet the veteran halfpipe skier still attacks competition with the stoke of a frothing grom, pushing his trick difficulty higher year after year to stay ahead of the pack.

Wise’s greatest weapon? Delivering when it matters most. Under pressure, he’s the guy who puts it down to earn a place on the podium. And when he does, you’ll find him switching into rad dad-mode celebrating with his family at the bottom of the pipe.
