Considered one of the best big mountain skiers ever, Gordy has a long and varied skiing resume. His aggressive charging style on slopes that make mere mortals cringe, and no holds barred launching off of cliffs that boggle the mind have been the hallmarks of his 30 year love affair with skiing.

Raised in the small mountain mecca of suburban Detroit, Gordy spent his youth jumping any bump that would give him some hang time. His abilities were obvious from a young age and when the opportunity to participate in alpine racing presented itself he became a quick study of the genre and was soon ranked top 10 in the nation among 16-18 year old junior racers. After 1 year of racing in college on a skiing scholarship he decided that skiing powder and jumping cliffs were his true calling and he moved to Salt Lake City where he could attend school and ski the “greatest snow on earth”.

Soon Gordy’s image was plastered in skiing magazines throughout the world, he appeared in a plethora of ski movies, and he took the competitive freeskiing circuit by storm. Gordy has skied some of the best locations in the world including Alaska, British Columbia, the Alps, Norway, South America, Romania, and many more.
