\"\"The whole idea of a US Snowboard Team<\/strong> has always been an odd, slightly artificial construct that blooms its ugly head every four years just in time for the media hoopla of the Winter Olympics. Think of the Team as snowboarding’s own Corpse Flower.<\/p>\n

This year that blossom is oddly twisted even more by the fact that the Tokyo Olympics were last summer (thanks, COVID) and the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics<\/strong> are this February. So, while we’re all still trying to figure out exactly what happened to skateboarding culture in the blur that was Tokyo 2020<\/strong>, the snowboard side is ramping up for another go-round at the five ring circus with a just-announced crew that sounds (while we’re on the subject of flowers) like the traditional prep for a wedding: something old (too many to list), something new (Dusty Henricksen<\/strong>), something borrowed (not sure), something blue (or Red in this case).<\/p>\n

Here’s how the US Ski and Snowboard Association spins it:<\/p>\n

This season will have no shortage of excitement as the U.S. Snowboard Team\u2019s Olympic gold medalists get ready to drop in. Chloe Kim<\/strong> and Red Gerard<\/strong> continue their dominant marches toward the 2022 Olympic Winter Games, and veteran Jamie Anderson<\/strong> looks to continue to display her undeniable dominance of the sport. Shaun White<\/strong> will once again represent the U.S. Snowboard Halfpipe Team in pursuit of his fourth Olympic gold medal. . . \u201cThe teams have been working super hard and having tons of fun preparing for the big season ahead,\u201d says U.S. Freeski and Snowboard Head Coach Mike Jankowski<\/strong>. \u201cThe anticipation has everyone excited and ready to get this 2021-22 action going!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, and Snowboardcross still exists so don’t think you won’t see Lindsey Jacobellis<\/strong>  giving that Gold Medal another go. Congrats to the team. Good luck. We hope US Snowboarding gets you all sorted correctly before the Games begin on February 4, 2022. May you bloom to your full potential, ride beautifully, and refrain from stinking things up too much in Beijing.<\/p>\n

2021-22 U.S. Snowboard Team Announced<\/p>\n

PARK CITY, UTAH (Nov. 12, 2021) \u2013U.S. Ski & Snowboard has announced the 35 pro-level and 15 rookie and development level riders making up the 2021-22 U.S. Snowboard Team. These riders will be competing in halfpipe, slopestyle, big air and snowboardcross disciplines for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

This season will have no shortage of excitement as the U.S. Snowboard Team\u2019s Olympic gold medalists get ready to drop in. Chloe Kim and Red Gerard continue their dominant marches toward the 2022 Olympic Winter Games, and veteran Jamie Anderson looks to continue to display her undeniable dominance of the sport. Shaun White will once again represent the U.S. Snowboard Halfpipe Team in pursuit of his fourth Olympic gold medal.
\n\u201cThe teams have been working super hard and having tons of fun preparing for the big season ahead,\u201d says U.S. Freeski and Snowboard Head Coach Mike Jankowski. \u201cThe anticipation has everyone excited and ready to get this 2021-22 action going!\u201d<\/p>\n

Hailey Langland\u2019s season is looking promising following a second place finish at the 2021 Aspen World Cup, while Maddie Mastro has focused on training during the off season with her sights set on the podium. The men\u2019s slopestyle team runs deep with Brock Crouch, who kicked off the season with a great showing at the season opening Big Air Chur, alongside Judd Henkes and rising star Dusty Henricksen. In halfpipe, White will be joined by Chase Josey, Chase Blackwell and veteran Taylor Gold, who\u2019s looking for redemption from the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Snowboardcross Team also has new talent hitting the course including Tyler Hamel and Connor Schlegel. Veterans Faye Gulini, Lindsey Jacobellis, Hagen Kearney, Mick Dierdorff, and Jake Vedder will look to carry momentum from this past season into the heart of the Olympic qualification process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in a good place\u2014we won the Nation\u2019s Cup last season, which speaks to our depth and we\u2019ve had great training camps in Saas Fee and at Copper Mountain ahead of this season,\u201d says U.S. Snowboardcross Head Coach Peter Foley. \u201cOur riders are really progressing and are on their game. I\u2019m excited about our chances going into the China Test event and the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each U.S. Snowboard Team athlete receives world-class program support, along with access to the U.S. Ski & Snowboard USANA Center of Excellence, as well as athletic benefits including expert coaching, sport science, sports medicine, and high-performance staff, and education opportunities. The teams have had great success in training camps at official training sites of Timberline Lodge and Ski Area, Ore., The Stomping Grounds Park in Saas Fee, Switzerland; and Prime Park at Stubai Glacier, Austria.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Snowboard Team is looking ahead to a packed competition season of tryout events heading into the 2022 Beijing Olympics Winter Games, with the Snowboardcross team traveling to five World Cup events beginning at Secret Garden in China Nov. 26-28. The halfpipe, big air and slopestyle teams will kick off with the Visa Big Air presented by Toyota FIS World Cup at Steamboat, Colo. from Dec. 2-4. From there, both the slopestyle and halfpipe teams plan to make their way to Copper Mountain, Colo. for training and the halfpipe tryouts at the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix FIS World Cup Dec. 8-10, followed by slopestyle and halfpipe tryouts at the Winter Dew Tour Dec. 16-18. Following the holiday break, it\u2019s on to the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix Jan. 6-9, at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, Calif. for slopestyle and halfpipe competitions marking the final U.S. Snowboard Olympic tryout event ahead of the 2022 Olympic Winter Games scheduled for Feb. 4-20 in Beijing.<\/p>\n
