Steven Nyman, born in Provo, Utah in 1982, had the passion, skill, and perseverance to become the oldest American ski racer on the World Cup tour, racing into his 40s.
Nyman donned his first pair of skis at the age of two at Utah’s Sundance Mountain Resort, where his father was ski school director and his mother instructed Steven and his brothers. He was a discretionary pick for the 2002 U.S. World Junior Team where he won gold in the slalom and silver in the combined. He progressed to win at every level, becoming a three-time World Cup winner, an 11-time World Cup podium performer, and a three-time Olympian – in 2006, 2010, and 2014.
Nyman became the longest tenured alpine skier on the U.S. Ski Team, competing from 2002 to 2023. He was captain of the U.S. Men’s Speed Team, and in 2016, he set an American downhill record by finishing on the podium four consecutive times.
An inspiration to youth, Nyman always shared his accomplishments for the betterment of others.
