Biographical Information

Born in New Hampshire, Colby Stevenson started skiing at 14 months old before moving to Park City, Utah, at age four. He originally was part of a Nordic combined youth team before switching over to freestyle skiing. Stevenson made his FIS World Cup debut in halfpipe at age 14 and has competed in multiple disciplines in his Freestyle Skiing career.

In 2016, Stevenson shattered his skull and suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car crash when he fell asleep while driving an injured teammate home from an event in Mt. Hood, Oregon, to Park City. Stevenson was placed in a three-day medically induced coma to avoid permanent brain damage. Stevenson returned to skiing just five months after the crash and three months later, he recorded his first-ever FIS World Cup win in slopestyle in Seiser Alm, Italy.

Stevenson made his Olympic debut at the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, winning silver in the big air competition. Stevenson also won a silver medal at the 2021 FIS World Championships in slopestyle and is a five-time X Games champion in three different events.
