Monster Army competed in the 2018 FIS Junior Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World Championships at Cardona Alpine Resort in New Zealand earlier this month.

In his second appearance at the Junior Worlds, Dylan Ladd was able to land on the podium and score himself a Silver medal. With back-to-back 900s and a double flat 900 down the pipe he found himself in second in the Men’s freeski halfpipe competition.

Also, rounding out the halfpipe results, Dylan was joined by his brother Connor who landed in sixth and was just beat out by teammate Hunter Carey who finished fifth.

On the ladies side, fellow Monster Army and Team USA teammate, Svea Irving finshed fourth overall in the Women’s freeski halfpipe, just narrowly missing the podium.

Caroline Claire was also in Cardona competing in the FIS World Cup and landed herself in second place in Ski Big Air.
