2018 Olympic gold medalists Jamie Anderson, Red Gerard, and Chloe Kim will lead the way for the U.S. Snowboard Team along with a strong group of young riders ready to make their mark.

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