21/22 US Freeski Team Nominations Announced

Like it or lump it, Olympic years are big years in the competition game, and the US team is always among the most stacked. So making this list is a big step on the road to Beijing for some of skiing's biggest name athletes. A total of 27 pro-level and 15 rookie freeskiers have been nominated to the 2021-22 U.S. Freeski Team, though the final team will be announced in the fall.

"Each athlete accepting the nomination to the U.S. Freeski Team receives world-class program support, along with access to the U.S. Ski & Snowboard USANA Center of Excellence, as well as athletic benefits including sport science, sports medicine, and education opportunities." - US Freeski
