U.S. Ski & Snowboard has announced its U.S. Freeski and Snowboard Team for halfpipe, slopestyle, and big air nominations for the 2020-21 season. And of course the Monster Army has plenty of athletes in the mix! Of the complete roster we have a total of 11 athletes through out men and women, ski and snowboard and slope and halfpipe!
Some of the most exciting news consists of Jaxin Hoerter making the US pro team for halfpipe for his first year! As well as our girl skiers taking the entire rookie women’s halfpipe team, including Riley Jacobs who will be joining the program for her first year as well.
Being part of the U.S. Team is a huge honor as well as provides 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.
