Nobis competed for the United States alongside his sister Shannon Nobis at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, finishing ninth overall in the giant slalom event.
He was often referred to as “The Icon” for his many death-defying descents of super-steep slopes, and he went on to have a successful high-speed freeriding career after the Olympics.
The St. George News reported that Nobis was arrested for a DUI on March 25, 2019, after a rollover crash on Interstate 15 near mile marker 42.
An arrest warrant was issued in August 2021 after Nobis failed to appear via video conference in connection with the case, and he went back into custody on February 11, 2023.
