2020-21 U.S. Freestyle Ski Team nominations

U.S. Ski & Snowboard has announced its U.S. Freestyle Ski Team nominations for the 2020-21 season. Nominations include those active athletes who qualified based on published selection criteria in the prior season. Thirty-one athletes have been nominated to the U.S. Freestyle Ski Team, which includes aerials and moguls.

Nominations include four new members: Landon Wendler and sisters Madison and Kasey Hogg to the moguls team and Dani (Karyl) Loeb to the aerials team. These young athletes show a promising look at the future of American freestyle skiing.

2020-21 will bring the freestyle skiers to the FIS Freestyle, Snowboard and Freeski World Championships in Zhangjiakou, China, which will serve as test events for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games. Athletes will get a preview of what is to come at their sports’ most prestigious events.

Each athlete accepting the nomination to U.S. Ski Team receives world-class program support, along with access to the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Center of Excellence, as well as athletic benefits including an elite coaching, sport science, sports medicine, high performance staff, and education opportunities.

An official U.S. Freestyle Ski Team announcement will be made in the fall.
