“The USA has built a truly fantastic development pipeline across the country,” said Matt Gnoza, US Ski & Snowboard Freestyle Sport Director. “Events like the US Selections and US Championships, where elite athletes compete against some of the best in the world, provide these athletes with the opportunity to qualify for the Stifel US Ski Team, World Cups and the 2025 World Championships. The door is open in the freestyle disciplines and we are always excited to see who takes advantage of these opportunities and showcases themselves on the world stage. We are excited to bring more freestyle events to local snow and provide more opportunities for the next generation to be inspired. The team is building on a highly successful 2023-24 season and I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish at both the development and elite levels.”
