With just over a year left until the highly-anticipated 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, the U.S. Freesking team has announced a stacked team to take on the 2016-17 season. Within the team are eight different groups: men’s halfpipe pro team; women’s halfpipe pro team; men’s The North Face halfpipe rookie team; women’s The North Face halfpipe rookie team; men’s slopestyle pro team; women’s slopestyle pro team; men’s The North Face rookie slopestyle team; women’s The North Face rookie slopestyle team.

With a surplus of talented American athletes in the running, and tons of Olympic qualifiers going down this season, choosing who made the cut wasn’t easy. To make decisions a bit clearer, the following criteria from the Discretionary Selection Policy are used: opportunities previously provided to an athlete in relationship to results; attitude and commitment; outstanding results based on strength of field; relative Association of Freesking Professionals Ranking; physical fitness level; injuries.

Below, find the full lists of athletes comprising the 2016-17 U.S. Freesking Team. Among them are six Olympic medalists: David Wise, Maddie Bowman, Joss Christensen, Gus Kenworthy, Devin Logan and Nick Geopper. Additionally, some highly-notable 2016 X Games athletes made the cut such as Torin-Yater Wallace, Alex Ferreira, Bobby Brown and Annalisa Drew.
