BIO
If you know anything about street or slopestyle snowboarding, you know Luke Winkelmann. One of the top riders in the game, Luke is a rare talent out of Blowing Rock, North Carolina, and grew up riding on the icy east-coast slopes of Appalachian Ski Mountain.
While simultaneously making a name for himself on the World Cup circuit, Luke was awarded MVP at his first Red Bull Recharge event, cementing his name as an up-and-coming talent in the sport. Among the many accomplishments in his career, Luke is most proud of his two slopestyle World Cup podiums, his fourth-place finish at the 2019 U.S. Open and his 2024 Dew Tour Streetstyle win.
Never forgetting where he's from, Luke is an inspiration for young East Coast riders hoping to break into the sport. Always competing with a smile on his face, this young phenom is an exciting rider to watch on both the World Cup circuit and street style stage.
