2020-21 U.S. Freeski Team Nominations

U.S. Ski & Snowboard has announced its U.S. Freeski Team halfpipe, slopestyle, and big air nominations for the 2020-21 season. Nominations include those active athletes who qualified based on published selection criteria in the prior season.

Nominations for this year’s team illustrate the natural progression through the U.S. freeskiing athlete pipeline with new faces across the rookie and pro teams. Leading the way for the U.S. is an elite group of five Olympic medalists and, coming up through the ranks is an energetic and talented group of rookies from freeski programs around the country.

U.S. athletes are coming off a spectacular 2019-20 season earning 20 podiums at World Cups and 12 podiums at X Games and Dew Tour. The U.S. Freeski Team is prepared for a challenging World Championships season ahead with 25 pro-level and 15 rookie freeskiers taking to elite international competition.

Each athlete accepting the nomination to U.S. Freeski Team receives world-class program support, along with access to the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Center of Excellence, as well as athletic benefits including elite coaching, sport science, sports medicine, and high-performance staff, and education opportunities.

An official team announcement will be made in the fall.
