Alex’s first breakthrough came in 2012 when he achieved a victory at the Gatorade Free Flow Finals youth halfpipe competition hosted by Snowbasin Ski Resort in Utah.

The 11-time World Cup winner in Half-pipe skiing, Ferreira, has also finished 16 times on the podium during the World Cup. The 30-year-old (as of July 2025) skier was part of the club known as the Aspen Valley Ski Club between the ages of 8 and 18.
