Ross Rebagliati (born July 14, 1971 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) is a Canadian professional snowboarder. He turned pro in 1991. He was the first ever to win an Olympic gold medal for this sport at the 1998 Winter Olympics. After he won the gold, he was found to have marijuana in his circulatory system and he was automatically disqualified. This decision was eventually overturned, and he was given back the medal.
Ross is currently training for the 2010 Olympic games in Vancouver/Whistler.
