Former Olympic skier found dead in his jail cell in Cedar City
April 19, 2023
Olympic skier Jeremy Nobis, ‘The Icon,’ dies in a Utah jail
Cedar City, Utah - Olympic skier Jeremy Nobis, who became known as “The Icon” for his fearless feats on skis, was found dead in his cell Wednesday morning at the Iron County Jail in Cedar City. Nobis, 52, was being held at the jail while awaiting sentencing in a DUI case, according to a news release from the Iron/Garfield/Beaver Critical Incident Task Force. He had been incarcerated since Feb. 11. His sentencing was scheduled for Tuesday. He was found alone and unresponsive, the news release said, and was pronounced dead at the jail. “Life-saving efforts were attempted by Iron County Jail staff,” the release said.
A Wisconsin native who later attended the ski-centric Green Mountain Valley School in Vermont, Nobis made the United States Ski and Snowboard team at age 16. He was a World Junior Champion (giant slalom) at age 17 and won another (super giant slalom) at age 18, when he also began racing World Cup events. In 1994, Nobis competed for Team USA in the slalom and giant slalom at the Lillehammer Olympics in Norway, taking ninth in the latter. Shortly after those Winter Games, Nobis began skiing professionally. He appeared in films by Warren Miller Entertainment, Teton Gravity Research and Matchstick Productions. TGR co-founders Todd and Steve Jones named his descent of a steep Alaskan mountain face one of their top 21 moments of the first 21 years of the now ubiquitous action-sports media company. The descent ended up on the February 1998 cover of Powder magazine under the headline: “Jeremy Nobis: The Next Rock Star?”
Todd Jones, in a video about the moment, described Nobis as “this long-haired, fiery ex-racer. Just a crazy ball of intensity and energy.” Skiing with intensity and abandon became Nobis’ calling card. His fast descent of steep slopes earned nicknames like “The Icon” and “PsychoNobi.” Nobis, who had his own pro model of Dynastar skis, is perhaps best known for his run down Harvest on Alaska’s Pyramid Peak. It is a 52-degree slope with a 2,000-foot vertical drop.

Our family has a new baby due in a few weeks, I am terrified. It is like a ticking time bomb for me. Vaxx discussions are not a welcomed subject in my family, I am the only one that didn't get the jab. Anyone that prays or believes in positive energy and Light please send some to the parents and baby that all will be well. It is heartbreaking reading about today's new babies not making it.
Thank you, Mark, for continuing to publish these compendiums of sudden and/or unexpected deaths.
There are hundreds, possibly thousands every week, certainly not all attributable to the mRNA vaccines. However, the authorities apparently have no interest in determining whether the vaccines contributed to the diseases (turbo-cancer, cardiovascular events, even suicides and drug overdoses) that preceded these untimely events.
