Ben Loomis was born on June 9, 1998, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. He started ski jumping at the Flying Eagles Ski Club at the age of five, following his older brother Adam into the sport. His early career involved competing in various regional events across the Midwest. At 15, Loomis relocated to Park City, Utah, to further his training and attended the Winter Sports School. This move marked a significant step in his career, allowing him to dedicate himself more fully to Nordic combined skiing, which integrates both ski jumping and cross-country skiing.
Loomis quickly established himself as a promising athlete. In 2016, he achieved a silver medal in Nordic combined at the Winter Youth Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, marking the first U.S. medal in this discipline at a Youth Games. This achievement led to him being named the 2016 USSA Nordic Combined Athlete of the Year by the United States Ski and Snowboard Association. He participated in the International Ski Federation (FIS) Junior World Championships in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, securing 7th place in team normal hill/4x5K in 2015 and 2017, and 6th place in 2016. At the 2018 Junior World Championships, he earned 3rd place in the 10k individual Gundersen event and 4th in the 5k individual Gundersen event.
His senior career has seen him compete in the World Championships in 2017, 2019, and 2021, where he achieved a 31st-place finish in the 10k individual Gundersen event in 2021. During the 2021-2022 World Cup season, Loomis recorded a personal best 12th-place finish at the Val di Fiemme World Cup, which was the highest World Cup finish by a USA Nordic Athlete since 2018. He has represented the United States at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Korea, and the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, competing in all Nordic combined events at both games. In 2019, Loomis joined the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program and holds the rank of Sergeant with the Utah National Guard.
