Jake Canter (born July 19, 2003) is an American snowboarder. He represented the United States at the 2026 Winter Olympics and won a bronze medal in slopestyle.
In 2016, when Canter was practicing on a trampoline an accident occurred when another athlete on a neighboring trampoline lost his balance mid-air and the two collided. This resulted in a fractured skull, a traumatic head injury and a brain bleed for Canter. Then, in the spring of 2017, the trampolining injury resulted in a more serious health condition, as spinal fluid was leaking due to the injury. The leakage led to bacterial meningitis, and Canter was placed in a medically-induced coma for six days. He had his ear drum removed due to an infection stemming from the meningitis, which left him deaf in his right ear. [1]
During the 2021–22 FIS Snowboard World Cup, Canter earned his first career World Cup podium on January 15, 2022, finishing in third place. [2]
During the 2025–26 FIS Snowboard World Cup, Canter earned his first World Cup win, with a score of 85.16. [3] With his win he qualified to represent the United States at the 2026 Winter Olympics. [4] He won a bronze medal in the slopestyle event with a score of 79.36. [5]
