Hailey Langland has snowboarding in her blood. Sponsored by Burton at the age of 6, she won her first World Cup Grand Prix at 14. At 16, she took home an X Games Big Air gold medal with a massive Cab Double Cork 1080, becoming the first woman to land the trick in an X Games competition.
A regular top 10 competitor in the World Cup standings and an Olympian in 2018, Langland's rail game is every bit as good as her air skills, and she does both with impeccable style and flow. A silver medal at the 2019 X Games in Slopestyle proved that point. She routinely competes in Slopestyle, Big Air and Superpipe, proving she's a multi-talented threat.
Born in Southern California, Hailey's love of snowboarding was kindled by her dad when he started taking his 5-year-old daughter up to Bear Valley. It was love at first ride, and Hailey's been shredding ever since. She still calls the popular beach and surf town of San Clemente, California, home but spends most of her time on the road training, competing and filming.
When she’s not shredding the park or powder with friends, Hailey loves spending time with her husky named Denver, surfing, mountain biking, skateboarding and creative pursuits like drawing, painting and playing music on the guitar ukulele and piano. Her musical influences include Billy Joel, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.
Known for her smooth style and flawless Methods (her favorite trick), Hailey grew up watching classic snowboard movies like Mack Dawg’s "The Hard, the Hungry and the Homeless" and mixes some old-school flair with her modern repertoire of flips and spins. She strives to funnel that creativity and freedom into her competitive career, with her top priority on any course is to have fun and make it flow.
