Who is Ryan Wedding?
Born on September 14, 1981, in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Ryan Wedding grew up in a family deeply involved in snow sports. His grandparents owned the Mount Baldy Ski Area, and he was a world-class snowboarder who represented Canada at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, competing in the men’s parallel giant slalom. Ryan finished 24th, a result some associates believe contributed to his departure from the sport. After the Olympics, he briefly attended Simon Fraser University but dropped out, eventually working as a nightclub bouncer in Vancouver.
