Hunter Hess of the Stifel U.S. Freeski Team halfpipe roster is one of the most exciting athletes on the circuit. Growing up in Oregon, Hunter spent his time honing his love for skiing at Mt. Bachelor and grew up skiing with the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation.

In his career with the U.S. team, Hunter has reached the World Cup podium four times and had a strong 2023-24 year, with three of his podiums alone this season. Outside of competitive freeskiing, Hunter teams up with his teammate and best friend, Alex Hall, in backcountry filming and has released several MAGMA films.
