Zoi
Sadowski-Synnott

New Zealand’s Zoi Sadowski-Synnott has become perhaps the best competitor in women’s snowboarding. She’s already collected 11 X Games medals since her rookie appearance in 2018. Still just 24, Zoi took double gold at X Games Aspen 2022, where she became the first woman to land back-to-back double corks in either a ski or snowboard contest. In her gold medal Slopestyle run at X Games Aspen 2025 (bronze in Big Air), she became the first woman to land a triple cork 1440 in slopestyle competition. The hard-charging Kiwi is pushing progression in the backcountry, too, with impressive big mountain lines in high-profile films a testament to her immense all-around skill. When not snowboarding, New Zealand’s first Winter Olympic gold medalist can sometimes be found on exotic surf trips or relaxing away from it all in Wanaka, her hometown.
