Bryon was born and lived in Butte, Montana, for most of his life until his family made the decision to move to Park City, Utah,[2] to be closer to an advanced training facility to enable him, along with his younger brother Brad Wilson, to advance their skills and build a career in competitive skiing. The boys learned gymnastics from a young age and began skiing as toddlers. They later began to combine the two sports. Both brothers train at Deer Valley and the Utah Olympic Park in Park City.[3][4]

At the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, Wilson won the bronze medal in men's moguls with a score of 26.08.[5]
