The Story of the Tallest Man on the World Cup

American downhiller Bryce Bennett—a towering figure in every sense of the word, is known for his unique blend of grit, humor, and perseverance.

Raised in the snowy playgrounds of Tahoe, Bryce Bennett’s love of skiing runs deep, shaped by a family rooted in mountain culture and a journey that’s anything but conventional. He opens up about the challenges of carving his own path in the sport: from losing his funding at the height of his progress, to turning setbacks into breakthroughs, to standing atop the podium on one of the world’s most legendary tracks, Val Gardena.

But there’s more to Bryce Bennett than what you see between the gates. In this episode, we explore the camaraderie and rivalry on the World Cup tour, the influential culture of the “American Downhillers”, and what it means to balance family life with an elite athletic career. Whether he’s cracking jokes at the start house, battling nerves in the finish, or reflecting on fatherhood, Bryce Bennett offers candid insights, infectious energy, and stories that remind us why we love ski racing.
