Breezy Johnson was taught to ski on the western slope of Teton Pass by her dad at the age of three. Her biggest ski rival at the time was her brother, Finn.
Johnson made her first Olympic team at the age of 22, now competing against rivals around the world, and finished seventh in the women's downhill at the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018. Following that season, two concurrent knee injuries caused her to miss 22 months of racing. Johnson would finally return to the FIS World Cup tour with the best results of her career and rise to the No. 2-ranked downhill skier in the world just a month before the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. However, just weeks before the start of the Games, a knee injury suffered in a training crash would cause Johnson to withdraw from the 2022 U.S. Olympic Team.
Johnson won her first world title in women's downhill at the 2025 FIS Alpine SKi World Championships—the first top-level race victory of her career—just two months after serving a 14-month suspension for failing to provide her whereabouts for out-of-competition drug testing. Three days later, Johnson would win a second gold medal in the team combined event with Mikaela Shiffrin.
An openly LGBTQ skier, Johnson publicly came out in 2022, posting, "To those LGBTQ people out there who feel a little different and want to see people like them at the top, I am here to represent that we are out there, we are normal, and we can do whatever we want."
