U.S. Ski & Snowboard is thrilled to announce the roster of 54 athletes nominated to represent the U.S. Snowboard Team in halfpipe, slopestyle and snowboardcross for the upcoming 23/24 season. These nominations have been based on predetermined selection criteria.
The 23/24 roster is filled with talent, coming from seasoned veterans to promising newcomers. After a year off, two-time Olympic gold medalist halfpipe rider Chloe Kim will return to the competition circuit. X-Games champion and two-time Olympian Maddie Mastro will also continue to represent the U.S. for the 23/24 season on the pro team. Olympic champions Nick Baumgartner and Lindsey Jacobellis will again return to the pro snowboardcross team and 22/23 slopestyle Crystal Globe winners Julia Marino and Dusty Henricksen are back.
Along with Kim and Mastro, 2022 Olympians Chase Josey, Lucas Foster and Joey Okesson will return to the halfpipe pro team, along with veteran Chase Blackwell, who had his first World Cup podium at the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain earlier this year. Bea Kim and Sonora Alba made the move from rookie to pro after a solid 2022-23 season, where both consistently made the finals on the World Cup.
“We have diverse teams with a strong mix of young raw talent paired with seasoned Olympic gold medalists like Chloe Kim, Red Gerard and Lindsey Jacobellis,” said Snowboard Sport Director Rick Bower. “I am excited to see what our teams are capable of this season!”
On the slopestyle team, 22 athletes will complete the roster. Courtney Rummel, Jake Canter and Rebecca Flynn made the jump from the slopestyle rookie team to pro, a nod to their consistent growth, while athletes like Olympic gold medalist Red Gerard and 21-time X Games gold medalist and two-time Olympic champion Jamie Anderson will represent their country again on the pro U.S. Snowboard Team.
In addition to Baumgartner and Jacobellis, 16 athletes in total are named to the snowboardcross team. Brianna Schnorrbusch, who had her first top-10 World Cup result in the 22/23 season, will move from the rookie team to pro, along with 2022 Olympian Cody Winters and Maine’s Tyler Hamel. Named to the team for the first time are Nathan Pare, Boden Gerry and Theodore Mclemore on the snowboardcross development team.
14 FIS Snowboard slopestyle, big air and halfpipe World Cups are officially scheduled for the 23/24 season, with the season officially kicking off in Chur, Switzerland Oct. 20-21, 2023. Three World Cups will be held in the states: the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix and the Visa Big Air presented by Toyota at Copper Mountain Dec. 13-16, 2023 and the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain Feb. 31-March 3, 2024. For the snowboardcross 23/24 season, 10 World Cups are scheduled, with the season starting on Dec. 1-3, 2023 in France at the Les Deux Alpes World Cup.
