U.S. Ski & Snowboard has named eight athletes to the U.S. Alpine Snowboard World Championships Team. American riders are set to compete in Rogla, Slovenia March 1-2  in FIS World Championship parallel giant slalom and parallel slalom competition.

Following the cancellation of the 2021 FIS Snowboard & Freeski World Championships, originally scheduled to take place in Zhangjiakou, China, Feb. 18-28, the organizing committee in Rogla as well as the Ski Association of Slovenia stepped up to host this critical event. 

“The Organizing Committee in Rogla, as well as the Ski Association of Slovenia, are putting in an enormous amount of effort to host this major event on this short notice," FIS said in a statement. "However all parties involved feel supremely confident that this experienced World Cup organizer will be able to step up to hold a successful World Championships."
