Todd Richards

Commentator

An Olympian, commentator, author, podcaster, actor, entrepreneur, and a legendary pro snowboarder, Richard is originally from Paxton MA where he credits much of his success in snowboarding to where he grew up riding. Richards spent much of his time on the slopes of Wachusett, Gunstock, and Stratton and the variable conditions of east coast winters gave him a sharper set of skills when it came to riding a snowboard in all types of terrain. Richards comes from a skateboarding background and began competitive snowboarding around the time half pipes were new to the scene. He went on to claim multiple X Games medals (his first Gold being at the inaugural X Games event in 1997), multiple US Open Halfpipe titles, and many other contests and wins. Richards joined Team USA in Nagano, Japan, for snowboarding’s inauguration into the 1998 Winter Olympic Games. Today he serves as a live commentator and the “voice” of action sports events, including the Winter Olympics, Dew Tour, Nitro Games, US Grand Prix, and more. He has been NBC’s voice of snowboarding for five Olympic Games and will continue to be an industry leader in the host/commentator space for years to come.
