Born: 2005 | Active: 2017-present | Known for: Killington park skiing and Sugarbush rail jam victory | Sponsor: Kulkea | Disciplines: slopestyle, rail skiing

Dylan Aker is an American freestyle skier born in 2005 whose skiing developed around the terrain parks of Vermont. His family moved from the Jersey Shore to the Green Mountains, and Aker began skiing at Pico Mountain in 2014 at the age of nine. By his third season, he had shifted his attention toward freeskiing and the parks at nearby Killington. That progression led into USASA competition and a qualification for the national slopestyle championships at Copper Mountain during his first competition season.

Aker later entered the FIS system, where his official profile records the United States, a 2005 birth year and competition activity in freeski disciplines. Away from formal events, Kulkea describes him as a freestyle skier shaped by training camps in British Columbia, Colorado and Oregon, with Killington remaining central to his park development. The brand continues to list him on its current ambassador roster.

His strongest recent public contest result came at Sugarbush, where Aker won the men's open division of the Down Rails and Double Kinks rail jam ahead of Silas Weeden and Kai Small. That result fits a career increasingly centred on rails and creative park skiing rather than the international World Cup circuit. His FIS profile is now listed as inactive, but no public retirement announcement has been found.
