Todd Richards (Boulder/Vail, Colorado)

Richards transformed snowboarding, ascending from halfpipe pioneer to dominant champion amassing multiple US Open victories, X Games golds, and world slopestyle titles. A member of Team USA’s first 1998 Olympic halfpipe team, he then became snowboarding’s leading commentator, working at every Winter Olympics since Torino 2006. He has helped shaped the sport across many facets including eqipment innovation, style and cultural preservation. 

“I truly see this not just as recognition of my accolades, but as a nod and respect for all that came before me and what they did to put snowboarding in a position to let me climb that hill to this award,” Richards tells POWDER. “Snowboarding doesn’t owe me anything, but I owe everything to it.”

Kikkan Randall (Anchorage, Alaska)

A five-time Olympian, Randall charged to a gold medal in the team sprint alongside teammate Jessie Diggins at PyeongChang 2018, her final Games. It marked Team USA’s first Olympic gold in cross-country skiing history. She claimed 29 World Cup podiums, including 11 victories, and won three consecutive season sprint titles. Her World Championship silver in 2009 and gold in 2013 sparked a new era for the U.S.

“I am so humbled to be joining such an incredible list of ski and snowboard pioneers, many of whom were my heroes and inspiration growing up,” said Randall. “It feels really satisfying to get another cross country skier in the mix with so many big names from Alpine, Snowboard, Freestyle, etc. I feel way too young to be inducted already, as there is still so much in snowsports I hope to contribute.”

Nancy Gustafson (Pittsfield, Massachusetts)

Gustafson’s greatest Paralympic achievement was sweeping all four alping skiing events at Lillehammer 1994.

Dedicating herself in the early days of women’s ski jumping, Van honed her abilities and technique at the Olympic jump hills in Park City, winning 16 U.S. titles and achieving 40 international podiums. 

“It’s an honor to be recognized for my contributions to the sport – I don’t think that a ski jumper has been inducted for almost 20 years,” Van tells POWDER. “The sport continues to develop and I wish I was 20 years younger, so I could have all these current opportunities.”
