Jonny Moseley is an Olympic and World Cup champion in mogul skiing and rated by Ski Magazine as one of the top ten most influential skiers of all time. At the Olympics in 1998, Jonny incorporated a snowboard-style grab into his 360° spin and earned a gold medal. His performance helped ignite a re-birth of the ski industry known as Freeskiing. He then challenged the US Ski Team to allow him to compete in professional events and became the first skier to medal in both the X Games and the Olympics. In 2002 Jonny lobbied the International Skiing Federation (FIS) to allow him to perform a semi-inverted trick, the Dinner Roll, at the 2002 Olympics. Reluctantly, the FIS approved but the judges awarded him 4th place.
After the Games, Jonny hosted Saturday Night Live and began a career in TV hosting and sports commentating. He devotes most of his time to product development and marketing for the entities he partners with including Palisades Tahoe, Toyota, Tipsy Elves, Peter Glenn Ski and Sports, K2 Skis, Liveview Technologies, and Warren Miller Entertainment.
