BIO
A defining figure in the history of snowboard cross, Lindsey Jacobellis has set the standard for excellence and longevity in the sport. The Danbury, Connecticut native is a five-time Olympian, two-time Olympic gold medalist, three-time Olympic medalist, six-time World Champion, and ten-time X Games gold medalist—making her the most decorated snowboard cross athlete of all time. Her Olympic journey stands as a testament to perseverance and grit: after winning silver in her debut at the 2006 Winter Games, she achieved long-awaited gold in Beijing 2022 and followed with another in the inaugural mixed-team event with longtime teammate Nick Baumgartner.
Now embracing motherhood, Lindsey will take maternity leave for the 2025-26 season but doesn’t plan to hang up her boots just yet.
"I just know that something else turns on inside of me and I get really, really aggressive. I find energy when I didn’t think I had energy. "
