About Alex

IT'S FERREIRA. (Fur-AIR-ah) NOW YOU KNOW.

The most dominant halfpipe skier of his generation, raised in Aspen and raised by the mountain. He’s not chasing moments—he’s building what’s next.

Alex Ferreira is a two-time Olympic medalist and three-time X Games gold medalist from Aspen, Colorado. He started skiing at age 3, joined the Aspen Valley Ski & Snowboard Club at 8, began as a mogul skier, then transitioned into freestyle. The rest is history.

He made his Olympic debut in 2018 with a silver medal at PyeongChang, followed by a bronze at the 2022 Games. He also earned bronze medals at the 2023 and 2025 FIS World Championships in halfpipe. In 2024, Alex became the first skier—male or female—to win every single contest in a freeski halfpipe season. He followed it up in 2025 with his third FIS Crystal Globe (season title) as the halfpipe overall champion. Since early 2023, he’s been on the podium in every halfpipe event he’s entered. With over 30 major podiums and more than a decade at the highest level, Alex remains one of the most consistent and decorated skiers in the world. In June 2025, he became the first U.S. halfpipe skier to secure a spot on the 2026 Olympic Team.

He’s also the creative mind behind Hotdog Hans, a viral alter ego with a global following that’s amassed over a hundred million views and helped him rank among the top 10 most-followed skiers online. Whether in the pipe or on screen, Alex brings vision, discipline, and style to everything he does.

Creative Partnerships

Alex brings more to partnerships than podiums—he brings clarity, creativity, and execution. With a background in media and business, he understands how to build what lasts, not just perform in the moment. From co-creating the viral Hotdog Hans series to producing large-scale commercial and original film projects, Alex applies the same discipline and vision that define his skiing—off the mountain. Few athletes perform at this level—fewer build beyond it.

Giving Back to the Next Generation

With roots in the Aspen Valley Ski & Snowboard Club, Alex has helped raise over $1.7 million for AVSC youth programs through multiple years of the Ajax Cup. He’s also contributed to more than $1 million raised for U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes through national fundraising events. Whether it’s showing up, racing, or simply lending his name, Alex gives his time to ensure the future of the sport stays strong—long after his own career.

On Stage. On Point.

Alex brings the same mindset to the room that he brings to the mountain—sharp, grounded, and built to perform. He’s spoken around the world to a wide range of audiences, sharing real insights into resilience, preparation, and performing under pressure. With a calm presence and lived experience at the highest level, Alex connects with clarity—and leaves people thinking about what comes next.

The Legend of Hotdog Hans

Hotdog Hans is a character created by Alex Ferreira and his longtime partners at Vital Films. What started as a one-off skit in 2021 kept going—and became a viral series with a global fanbase and hundreds of millions of views. What makes Hans different is that it’s built entirely from scratch. Every episode is unscripted, self-funded, and independently produced. No sponsors. No agenda. Just a simple goal: to bring fun, originality, and joy back into a space crowded by repetition and overproduced content.

But Hans is more than a character. At a time when Alex is performing at his peak, it’s a creative outlet made purely for the love of skiing—a reminder of why we all fell in love with the sport in the first place.
