U.S. Ski & Snowboard has announced its roster of 56 athletes who have accepted nominations to the 2024-25 Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team.The slope style, halfpipe, and snowboard cross rosters include experienced veterans and up-and-coming riders. Each team features a two-time Olympic medalist: Chloe Kim in halfpipe, Jamie Anderson in slope style and Lindsey Jacobellis in snowboard cross.Notable on the slope style pro team is Red Gerard, the 2018 Olympic gold medalist, and two-time Olympian Chris Corning, who lead a young crew of riders hungry to prove themselves on the World Cup circuit. The slope style rookie squad features two newcomers: 2024 Youth Olympic Games big air silver medalist Ollie Martin and 2024 slope style national champion Lily Dhawornvej. Sidelined by an injury midway through the 2023-24 season after winning X Games gold, two-time Olympic gold medalist Chloe Kim is set to return to the halfpipe World Cup circuit. Joining her is two-time Olympian Maddie Mastro. She looks to carry the momentum from her highly successful 2023-24 campaign into the upcoming season, having finished second overall in the women’s halfpipe World Cup rankings. Team veteran and 2023-24 halfpipe assistant coach Maddy Schaffrick is back on the roster after deciding to return to competition earlier this spring. 2024 Youth Olympic Games silver medalist Alessandro Barbieri and teammate Noah Avallone jumped from rookie to pro while newcomers Zoe Guerrero and Orian Casas joined the likes of a talented halfpipe rookie roster.Team mainstays and reigning Olympic snowboard cross mixed team gold medalists Lindsey Jacobellis and Nick Baumgartner lead a young group of snowboard cross riders. The 2024 FIS snowboard cross rookie of the year Nathan Pare and teammate Theodore Mclemore make the move from rookie to pro, while Madeline Lochte Bono and Virginia Boyd earn a spot on the rookie squad.“This year’s squad features a deep talent pool with a mix of veteran Olympic champions paired with young talent,” said Snowboard Sport Director Rick Bower. “It’s an exciting dynamic to see legends like Chloe Kim, Red Gerard and Nick Baumgartner mentor up-and-coming shredders like Rebecca Flynn, Cody Winters and Bea Kim. If the slopestyle World Cup in Cardrona is any indication of what’s to come, it’s going to be an exciting season!The squad looks to Switzerland for the first big air event of the season on Oct. 19 in Chur. The halfpipe season debuts Dec. 4-7 in Beijing, China, and the snowboard cross will have a doubleheader Dec. 13-15 in Cervinia, Italy, to kick off their 2024-25 season campaign.Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team(Hometown; Club; USASA Series; Birthdate)* Promoted to Pro Team** Newly named to the Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard TeamHALFPIPEPROMenAlessandro Barbieri* (Portland, OR; Tahoe Select Snowboard Team; Mt.
