Personal life.
Su was born on February 18, 2004, in Jilin City, Jilin, China. Following his 2022 Olympic win, he enrolled at Tsinghua University. 
Since 2023, he has been in a relationship with Chinese-American figure skater, Zhu Yi, who he met at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

He competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics and was the only competitor to achieve an "1800-degree" aerial in the men's slopestyle event, winning a silver medal, making him the second Chinese athlete after Liu Jiayu to win an Olympic medal in snowboarding. The silver was controversial however, as confounded fans said Su was "robbed" by the low judging scores in spite of his unprecedented performances, and also due to the judges missing a glaring error made by gold medalist Max Parrot of Canada after judges fail to see him grab his knee rather than his board during the men's slopestyle final. British expert Ed Leigh wrote in the BBC, "The judges have put execution at such a premium that something like that should have cost him two or three points. So the gold has gone wrong there. ... I think Su Yiming actually took the gold there. This is a mistake on the judges' part." Iztok Sumatic, chief judge at the Olympics, admitted that judges failed to pick up on the mistake by Parrot in his second run due to not being given the camera angles of viewers. He also likened it to Diego Maradona's "Hand of God" refereeing mistake. Sumatic also said that after the event he received a call from Su, who said that he respected the judging and was happy with the competition result regardless. However, Parrot acknowledged the error but still felt like he had the most technical run and deserved his gold medal.
At the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, Su was the only competitor to achieve an 1800-degree aerial in the men's slopestyle event, winning a silver medal, making him the second Chinese athlete after Liu Jiayu to win an Olympic medal in snowboarding.
A week following the slopestyle event, Su won the gold medal in the Big Air event with a score of 182.50 by completing a front-side 1800 and a back-side triple-cork 1800 in his first and second runs respectively, and edging out Mons Røisland who won silver while Max Parrot grabbed the bronze medal. In doing so, 17-year-old Su became the first Chinese to win a gold medal in this event and celebrated his 18th birthday four days later.
