Breezy Noble Johnson is an American World Cup alpine ski racer and member of the U.S. Ski Team. She was born in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in 1996 and has been on the U.S. Ski Team since 2014.
Breezy first started skiing at age three, practicing on her driveway. “I loved the challenge of skiing. I was a pretty intense kid, and I always loved how hard skiing was.” She learned to ski from her father, who later became her first coach when she began competing in club races with the Kelly Canyon Ski Team. From a young age, she showed strong determination and passion for the sport, balancing school with rigorous training. At 13, she moved to Rowmark Ski Academy to pursue ski racing more seriously while maintaining her education.
Off the snow, Breezy enjoys staying active and trying different sports, even joking that she doesn’t always have the best coordination. She enjoys trampolining at her parents’ house, running outside with her dog, and slacklining. Growing up in Wyoming helped shape her love of the outdoors and nature.
After strong World Cup performances during the 2016–17 season, Breezy moved up to the U.S. Ski Team A-Team for the 2017–18 season. She continued to excel in international competition, eventually qualifying for her first Olympic team and delivering an impressive Olympic debut.
On November 7, the Stifel U.S. Alpine Team athlete and seven-time World Cup podium finisher announced that she is bisexual. She shared the news on Instagram, explaining that her goal is to help people who feel different feel seen, loved, and represented.
To those people out there who feel a little different and want to see people like them at the top, I am here to represent that we are out there, we are normal, and we can do whatever we want.
U.S. Ski & Snowboard publicly supported Breezy following her announcement. The organization expressed pride in her for speaking openly and continuing to represent both the team, the country, and the LGBT community.
