Lyman Currier is a talented skier out of Boulder, CO who competed for the U.S. in halfpipe at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Once a triple threat (halfpipe, slopestyle and big air), Currier has focused more steadily on halfpipe in recent years, and is having marked success on the competition circuit. 

Coming in hot to the 2014 Olympic qualifying series, Currier bagged three podium finishes, including the win at the Park City Grand Prix, and earned his Olympic spot through objective criteria. Following in the footsteps of his father, David Currier, who competed in the 1972 Olympics as an alpine skier, Lyman represented his country at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games for his sport’s debut. Under bright lights and snowy skies, Currier suffered a blown ACL during the qualifying round, putting his Olympic gold dreams on hold for another four years. 

In 2016 Currier had top-10 finishes at the New Zealand Winter Games, Dew Tour, X Games Aspen and the Park City U.S. Grand Prix. He hit the podium at the World Cup Final in La Clusaz, France (also known as the SFR Freestyle Tour), finishing second behind Kevin Rolland. 

FIRST TRACKS
Currier first learned to ski in 1996 when he was 18 months old, when he wasn’t stuck in daycare at Beaver Creek. Although still in diapers, his parents found the smallest boots available, and he was a little ripper by the time he got into ski school at three years old.

OFF THE SNOW
In the summertime you’ll find Currier with his Boulder crew of friends playing basketball, training and listening to music. He also enjoys travel, culture and food.
