2024 FIS Snowboard Slopestyle, Big Air, Snowboard Cross Junior World Championships Team Announced

U.S. Ski & Snowboard has announced the seven snowboard athletes who will represent the United States at the 2024 FIS Slopestyle and Big Air Junior World Championships in Mottolino Livigno, Italy, March 22-30, and the 10 snowboard cross athletes for the FIS Snowboard Cross World Junior Championships in Gudauri, Georgia, April 4-7. 

With both national team members and top U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes from clubs across the country, this year’s team consists of heavy hitters who have already made appearances on the World Cup stage along with up-and-coming riders looking to prove themselves on an international level. The big air and slopestyle World Championships are at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games venue.

Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team athletes Rebecca Flynn and Brooklyn DePriest lead the way after a successful showing at the Youth Olympic Games, with Flynn taking home silver in women’s big air and DePriest finishing sixth in the men’s slopestyle competition. Notably, Flynn will compete in her first World Cup final in Silvaplana just days before she’s set to drop into the Mottolino Fun Mountain Snowpark course, making her an exciting athlete to watch as she continues to excel on the international level.

Ski & Snowboard Club Vail’s Lily Dhawornvej looks to continue her success on the World Cup stage after a second place performance at the final Rev Tour in Aspen last week. She will be joined by older brother Caleb Dhawornvej who also looks to build on his success from the NorAm Cup circuit, highlighted by a sixth place slopestyle result in Copper Mountain in January. Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team rookie coaches Eric Beauchemin and Ryan Conway will join the squad in Italy. Oliver Martin is named, but will not be attending due to injury.

The 2024 FIS Snowboard and Big Air Junior World Championships kicks off snowboard competition with slopestyle qualifications on Sunday, March 24 with finals following on Tuesday, March 26. The event shifts gears to big air competition with snowboard qualifications on Thursday, March 28 and will conclude with big air finals on Saturday, March 30.

On the snowboard cross side, the team is led by Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team members Boden Gerry and Tyler Hamel, all of whom have had success this year on the World Cup circuit. Nathan Pare recently made a statement with a top-eight performance at the Snowboard Cross World Cup in Cortina, finishing seventh overall and cementing himself as a young talent to watch. Bri Schnorrbusch and Nathan Pare are named, but will not be attending due to injury.

Qualifications kick off Friday, April 5 with finals following on Saturday, April 6. The 2024 FIS Snowboard Cross World Junior Championships will also include a snowboard cross team event on Sunday, April 7.
